Customer Reviews

Good for Married People

Very good book. I am almost done reading and it has made me think. I am not married and I think that has caused some disconnect.

Female Friendly

Gary Chapman is truly an excellent writer. While I have found that many marriage enrichment books are written by men who either have a dislike for women, or do not understand them, Chapman writes in a gentle style that speaks to women. Now You're Speaking My Language is an easy read and full of helpful insights. If in doubt, it's worth your time.

Enlightening!

This is a very well put book. Eye opening and easy for anyone to follow. This is a must-have for married couples! I highly recommend it for anyone willing to dig into a deeper relationship with their spouse.

It helps! (Even good marriages!)

My husband and I have a wonderful marriage... but we know it takes work so that is why we do alot of reading of Christian marriage books and I LOVE this one. Gary Chapman has a great way of truthfully letting you know what a marriage needs to survive~ honest, open and effictive communication. The same way we take what others say and twist it up to mean something totally different than what was said, others do that too! So he brings to your attention the words you say and how you say things. This book is great for any relationship- not just marriages... if your marriage is in trouble- this is truly a great read for you. If you are engaged- get two copies- one for each of you to read before saying 'I Do'. If you need a wedding gift for someone- this paired with the 5 Love Languages would be a great gift- I wish someone would have thoguht of that for me instead of the hediest bookends I recieved! -Hot4onlyReu

Communication

I enjoyed this book because it reenforced the need for honest communication in a relationship.

Great for your average guy

I am a man who has been in a relationship for five years and have read the amazing book The Five Love Languages: Men's Edition. I found this book to be extremely helpful to taking a deeper look into what and why we do certain things in our relationship. The book covers differences as well as important subjects like COMMUNICATION, OPPOSITES, AND DEFENSIVENESS. I strongly suggest this book for any man/woman who fights or doesn't communicate well in their relationship.
