The Book ' The 5 Love Languages ' By Gary Chapman

They say that French is the most romantic language of all, but after reading Gary Chapman’s bestselling book, The 5 Love Languages, I would have to disagree. This international bestseller written by the director of Marriage and Family Life Consultants, Inc. has revived the love in millions of marriages around the world by uncovering the five specific languages that successful couples use to communicate their love for one another. These couples share a priceless love due to their understanding of the language that the other uses daily to show their affection for one another. These love languages include words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. In the book, Chapman

Love can be an amazing thing and it is often said that nothing compares to the bond between a mother and her child, yet before a study called “The nature of love” which is discussed in the book “Forty studies that changed psychology: Explorations into the history psychological research,” our society had a very different understand about what caused this bond (Hock, 2013). In the book the author Roger Hock explores many different influential studies but in the section called “Discovering Love,” he takes a closer look into this study and discusses its importance (Hock, 2013). The influence of this study can be found in many different types of literature such as contemporary articles like “Building your own family,” which was published in Scientific American Mind (2014). This article implicitly provides further understand of the “The nature of love” study results and shows active efforts to continue building on the original theoretical ideas in order to change our views about human development (Jacobson, 2014). Even in modern text books like Psychology: Eighth Edition, can we find traces of the importance of this study. Thus this study not only provided a tremendous contribution to the field of Psychology but also changed society by altering its views on child rearing all together.

To understand what the other is thinking and feeling, you need to stop talking and open your mind to what they have to say. Really think about what it is that they are saying. Eventually you’ll understand better and be able to calmly sort things out. There’s a book by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr titled, “The Poet at the Breakfast Table”. In that book he quotes, “It is the province of knowledge to speak, and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen”. Are you really listening to the other person in the relationship?

In the essay “Love’s Vocabulary,” Diane Ackerman explains that humans eagerly search for love. Ackerman uses an analogy about a lost city in order to communicate her claim based on the journey that humans take towards love. Ackerman uses the analogy in order to demonstrate the arduous search for love that humans undergo.

In the Science essay, Loves Vocabulary by Diane Ackerman uses analogy in order to prove that love is not monotype or uniform. The author uses figurative language analogy to describe how love is not dull. “ Like a batik created from many emotional colors, it is a fabric whose pattern and brightness vary”. In other words, the author describes a simple but even further by saying that love has many emotional colors. This implies that the author is comparing a batik to human emotions. This proves that this piece of evidence is an analogy because the simile is being described even further. Diane Ackerman uses figurative language to describe how love is not monotone or uniform “ Love commands a vast army of moods”. To paraphrase since love makes you

Love languages? What in the world are those? These are the same questions I asked myself when I first discovered this topic in class. I soon came to realize that people show and express love in many ways. Every person has

Is your relationship lacking communication? You’re not the only one! There are many people who could benefit from better communication within their relationships. Communication is crucial when living or spending your life with someone. The article,“Sex, Lies, and Conversation” by Dr. Deborah Tannen, touches on three key issues among men and women when it comes to speaking with one another. Lack of communication is the first thing mentioned in Dr. Tannen’s article. Another issue which causes problems among people is body Language. Body language is just as vital as knowing how to speak to your significant other. One other issue the writer touched on was, understanding how the person you’re talking to communicates. When you discover the way

Communication between the two is very strained and there seems to be a well of uncertainty in their future. St In order for relationships to work and be successful, there needs to be open and honest communication. Communication is essential to any relationship and without it things can go very wrong. We should always take our partner’s feelings into account, a lesson that was

However, communication is required in a strong relationship even though Kipnis disagrees entirely with the fact of putting so much work into a conundrum bond to happen. There simply needs to be a foundation of trust and the implied skills of listening to enhance all that love is. Despite having to work towards something all the time, which is in itself a tedious task; it is a tedious task worth committing to, for love may only come around

No relationship will last without communication, you need communication in order to show you care, trust and are willing to work with the other person in the relationship. In his article, Why is communication important in a relationship?, David Oragui shares with us that “lack of affective communication causes unwanted problems”. It is important to talk any issues out with your partner no matter how small they are. If you decide ‘Oh, this is a small issue we don’t need to talk about it’ you are allowing the issue to build up into a large argument, an argument that could have been avoided if you just talked about it (Oragui). Communication in a relationship is also important when it comes to showing your partner you care. When communicating

In the polemic “Against Love”, Laura Kipnis considers love to be a mysterious force, which attaches to people as if it controls their thoughts and decisions. It is a capricious tyrant, who bring forth the tragedy for those failing to achieve such essential feeling. Still, artists create romantic poems about its cruelty while audiences enjoying watching the pain it gives to them. Ironically, through such pain, people yearn for a glimmer of brief happiness.

Let Me Count the Ways: The six general expressions of love are, in no particular order: spending time together, giving/receiving gifts, words of encouragement or belief in each others' abilities, helpful behaviors, physical affection, and words of caring or appreciation. This topic was the subject of a book, The Five Love Languages, by Gary Chapman. Due to his theological background, Dr. Chapman uses biblical references in his writing on the subject, but here I will discuss the topic within a secular context.

The book The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman is a fantastic book for singles, couples in relationships, and especially those who are married. Gary Chapman reveals that there are 5 Love Languages, or 5 ways for us to communicate love. It’s important for people to figure out what it takes for a person to love, as well as what it takes for loved ones to be loved. Many people make the mistake that their spouse is the same love language as them, which isn’t true. Whenever you are not feeling loved in a relationship, or your “Love Tank” is low or empty, the relationship is in danger.

Miscommunication has been a problem when dealing with these differences such as relationships. Romantic relationships often end due to miscommunication between the man and woman (Renwall.2010). It’s not because either of the two didn’t have good intentions, it’s because they didn’t communicate well enough to
