A coworker lent this to me (my coworkers are pretty aware I need all the relationship help I can get). I'd actually heard about the theories behind this one a couple years ago from a woman I was dating, though at the time it was more of a lecture. . .I digress. . .

Anyway, this was another really helpful book looking at the different ways men and women like to receive love, and it again explained a lot both in regards to past relationships as well as about myself. It was really interesting reading about the frustrations Chapman's clients felt because they were truly giving what they believed to be love, but because their spouse spoke a different "language", it didn't really mean anything to them. It's good info to know and to just be aware of, and like the other relationship books I've read, most of this stuff just feels like common sense that you kind of already knew but hadn't really thought about. There was even a quiz to tell you what "language" you prefer. I found that I prefer physical touch followed closely by words of affirmation. Now I can lecture someone else about it.
