  Très intéressant. Je recommande. Ce serait bien s’il y avait une traduction française, j’ai des amis qui aimeraient le lire mais ne parlent pas anglais.

  LOVED this book. Everyone should have to read this before getting married, and honestly, even after a breakup, in order to avoid making the same mistakes.

  I have just started to read this book. In the Acknowledgments, I noticed this, "If all wives loved as she does, fewer men would be looking over the fence." How about "If all husbands loved as he does, fewer women would be looking over the fence."? I am serious.

  Seems written by a church relationship minister type person, who has no training, no critical thought, and no evidence base.You would be better served by googling the 5 love languages, considering them for a second, then moving on to better things.His evidence is literally "a couple came to me and the woman said she needed physical intimacy, so physical intimacy is a love language". Repeat this another 4 times. That is the book.There are other, evidence based relationship books out there. Read those.

  This book is rooted in religion. It is written solely for straight persons. The author over uses gender pronouns unnecessarily to push outdated gender norms. All the stories of couples are relatively the same, with the wife doing all the cooking and cleaning, and husband working too much and not spending quality time. The author credits himself a miracle worker whenever possible, including after convincing a woman to stay with her emotionally abusive partner based on the idea that if she treats him nicely even while being abused he will eventually come around. The basic, good principles of this book (which should be common sense) are overshadowed with very problematic ideals that may be triggering. It is important to note that while the author has a PhD he is NOT a psychiatrist, nor was his back ground in psychology or social work. His studies were in anthropology. He is a counselor through his church, and attended religious institutions for his education. He does however have clients refer to him as Dr. This is very misleading, and could be detrimental to persons seeking serious help in areas where emotional, physical, or substance abuse is at play, or in relationships where one or both parties is coping with mental illness.

  After reading some reviews saying that the author was stuck in old ways, very religion based, and stating that a woman should have sex with her husband even if she doesn’t want to, I chose not to buy it. After trying to find other books I came back to this one and decided to buy it JUST for the quiz in the back. After the quiz I ended up reading the whole book. NEVER did I think or read anything the bad reviews said. I NEVER read a section in the book suggesting you should sleep with your husband just because he wants to. As a matter of fact, he says that sex will come after each spouse feels they are being loved properly and that sex is not the physical touch love language. NEVER did I see him suggest a woman should stay in a bad relationship and suck it up. I’m not a religious person and the very small amount of religious mentions did not bother me. If you're only looking for problems in the book, then why read it? I think this book can be extremely helpful and guiding towards bettering your relationship. You get what you put into it! The only thing he suggests is that before giving up and calling it quits, you learn your spouses love language and test it out daily for 2 months. He says this to BOTH spouses. This is teamwork, not only one sided. He uses examples where both spouses are making mistakes and have to put in work. It is very eye opening and helpful. So please, for the sake of bettering your relationship and understanding how to love each other better, get the book and give it a chance.

  I had to check twice that this was written in 1992 and not 1962. It is written exclusively for married heterosexual couples. Not at all relevant to today's world. I was interested to find out what the love languages were and wish I'd heeded the review that said just Google them! There are loads of bible references and examples that scrape far too close to being dangerously sexist. There is one woman who is married to a vile man who may never change and the author basically says she should bend to his every will. Never once does he say that if the vile husband doesn't start speaking her love language that she should then leave him. He just quotes the Bible. Urgh, it's awful. Steer well clear.
