Gary Chapman draws on his years of counseling and seminar experience to accomplish such a task. This discussion guide becomes a mini marriage retreat for just under twelve dollars. Chapman has the audacious courage to tell us that even though we may have marriages that span decades we may not be hearing what our spouses are saying. This is two fold because we may also be speaking words that do not clearly communicate our needs. In redefining the language we use into five simple paradigms he guides couples down a road of clear expressions of love. His examples serve both to highlight the five love languages and disarm the reader into admitting to a flaw in their own ability to be the spouse they initially intended.nnMoody MagazinenFalling in love can be an all-consuming joy, but an enduring love can be as scarce as ice in the desert.
