I've known about the 5 love languages but have never read the book, but I'm glad I finally did! Gary's insights were thought provoking and eye opening. This is a must read for any couple!

Initial thoughts: I remember randomly picking up this book at my high school library years ago. At the time, I had no idea how much the idea of love languages permeated pop culture and would still do so for years and years to come. Recently, over dinner, a friend asked me if I knew of love languages and what mine were. Since I hadn't done the quiz in over ten years, I agreed to do it again. Was interesting to see how and why mine've shifted a little over the years.

Of course, I was also curious if there was more to the concept than I could recall. Turns out, not really. The ideas are pretty straightforward but the author did give a neat overview nonetheless, so even though you could easily infer what receiving gifts, quality time, acts of service, words of affirmation, and physical intimacy stand for, it's still worth the quick read.

An interesting and enlightening read.
