Gary Chapman

Falling in love is easy — staying in love is the real challenge. In this #1 New York Times bestseller, marriage counselor and author Dr. Gary Chapman argues that every person gives and receives love in one of five distinct ways: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. When couples speak different love languages without realizing it, even the most well-intentioned gestures can fall flat. Drawing on decades of counseling experience, Chapman shows how identifying and speaking your partner’s primary love language can transform a struggling relationship into a deeply fulfilling one.
