So I've been reading this book that a co-worker suggested to me, it's called, "The 5 Love Languages" and out is an amazing book. To be honest I wish I would have discovered this book when all this happened. I'm afraid that this book has just come a little to late for me.
In the book the author, Gary Chapman writes about how over his many years in marriage counseling he discovered something amazing that explains why many marriages fail.
Like the title states there are 5 ways that we as people express our love to our loves ones. Think of these expressions as a language. We all know how to communicate with someone that speaks the same language as we do, but what if the person speaks something that we don't understand? Or what if they don't understand us?
This is where the book comes in. In it Chapman discusses how we tend to express love in the same easy as we would like it expressed to us. However, most of the time we the way we express love isn't the way that our loved ones are use to seeing, feeling, our noticing our love.
I'm not sure if any of these lessons are going to help me in my relationship, but I do know that ij save gained priceless knowledge from reading it.
