Five Love Languages
I was curious if any of you have read the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. If you did what are your thoughts on the book? What are your and YH's primary love languages? DH and I have talked about it and wondered how many others have read it, what they thought of it and do they practice it. So what are your thoughts?
Re: Five Love Languages
I really want to read that book and for DH to read it too. Did you find it was beneficial for you guys?

Haven't read the book, but did the online quiz a few months ago. DH was Receiving Gifts (LOL) and Quality Time. I believe I was Physical Touch.
It was interesting to learn how his brain works - it makes a little more sense because when we're annoyed with each other he still wants to be in the same room (whereas I want space to get over my mad). Also, if I make an overture to make peace, like cuddle up against him on the couch and he doesn't put his arm around me or reach out in some way I get totally upset again.
We've read it up to Chapter 9 and I like it a lot. It puts everything into perspective. I'm still not sure which my primary love language is, but I think DH's is acts of service. He seems to feel most loved when I do nice things for him.
The next few chapters are all about discovering what our primary is, so it should be insightful. I do think everyone should read this. It isn't a cure all, but I think the book definitely gives you a lot to think about, and can really help you read your partner better (and yourself).
DH and I felt that it really helped us to understand the other's primary love language. Very beneficial and enlightening book!
