I found this book very helpful. Having read it during my engagement period, I still refer to it after being married 4 years on. It was crucial in understanding my husband. I also find it very helpful in understanding my children today. My children are all very different, and from very early on I could decipher what love language they communicated in. It’s comforting to understand how they love, so I could best show them they are loved.

By discovering our own language, our partners and our children’s language we can better communicate and understand our differences and ultimately feel more love in our lives.

An essential read for engaged couples, married couple, and couple with children!
