Summary

The five love languages work for everyone (they're not just for married couples)....

In this world we’re surrounded by more people than ever - yet we often still feel alone. Being single or married has nothing to do with whether you need to feel loved! Everyone has a God-given yearning for complete and unconditional love in the context of all relationships. If you want to give and receive love most effectively, you’ve got to learn to speak the right love language. 

Different people with different personalities express love in different ways. In fact, there are five very specific languages of love: Words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, quality time, and physical touch. Dr. Gary Chapman’s original best seller was first crafted with married couples in mind, but the love languages have proven themselves to be universal. The message of this audiobook is now tailored to meet the unique and real desires of single adults.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

should rename to singles - dating and parenting

I had just read the original "The Five Languages" and picked this up as a recommendation from it, as I am single. It mostly focused on dating, getting married and parenting relationships, neither of which is related to me. There were 2 portions that were relevant, the working with colleagues and with parents and siblings. But the rest I found that it focused on the love between romantic partners, which I had read in the original.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good book, just has a misleading title.

Good concept but conservative view on relationship

The core idea is good and useful, but the book elaborates on it a lot. I think a summary would be almost as good.

Author is also a pastor so views on relationships are very conservative and heteronornative. Bit annoying at times.

useful concept but

I was interested in learning more about the love languages and how to apply them. I did not expect repeated argumennts as to why people should save sex for marriage. The author keeps a "friendly" tone, yet I sense certain views - and not all Christians share those views either I'm aware - and real judgement. Are non married people who choose to live together and love eachother, and are LGBTQ people included in the "love" preached throughout this book? Im not sure and Ifeel uneasy about it.

Some interesting ideas but

An interesting overview of the love languages and I appreciate the questions at the end of every chapter for self-reflection and consideration.
But, be warned the book is heavily heteronormative and gender-conforming, with very strong Christian values and beliefs throughout. Chapman also homogenises people who are single. I found that cringe-inducing, but if you can look past the overly traditional nature of the book, there is some value to understanding love languages in your relationships.

Inspiring!

I really loved listening to this book. It was presented really well, more like going to a seminar than reading a book. Very easy listening & it kept my attention - I listened to it all in a day!
I've not read the 5 Love Languages Original book, as when I found out about it my marriage had already broken down. I've been on my own for 20 years or so now so didn't know if it would be relevant to me. But this one was! I wish I'd found this title for singles when my children were younger & I was a single parent as I think it would have really helped me.
Upon listening to it I've been on a journey of self discovery & it's made me really want to find out the primary love languages of my family & friends so I can love them more.
It is written from a Christian perspective but it's not overtly Christian & is suitable for any person wanting to better their relationships. If we all loved like this the world would be a better place. I hope in reading it, and putting it into practice I will be a better, more loving person.
An inspiring listen - if you want your relationships with family, friends & colleagues to improve I highly recommend this book.

it wasn't what I expected

I thought it would be a book full of "how to find a life partner" steps lol. I'm glad it wasn't. I feel challenged in my relationships, with my coworkers and especially with my family.
it's like God is trying to remind me once more that "if you say you know me, bit have not love... " There's a lot of eye-opening knowledge in here. beautiful work!

Mixed bag

Some of this is very good and instructive. The churchy stuff is very irritating.

Great insight

My sister recommended this to me & it didn't disappoint. It's very interesting to see how childhood experiences relate to how we receive & give love. I very much recommend this book whether you are single or in a relationship as the advice can be applied to friends, colleagues as well as romantic partners.
