The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman (2004) for Men
I really would recommend this book for everyone. Written with men particularly in mind (and I'm a lass) the book is IDEAL: down-to-earth, a rapid read, never dull, and ABSOLUTELY STUFFED with REAL answers to (from a gal's point of view!!) some of life's most disappointing and elusive issues, including but not limited to--where on earth does the LOVE go in marriage; how to really LOVE and PLEASE each other in a relationship; why many in marriages may believe they're having a complete crisis--when they may need the teeniest bit of Help, etc.
I am tired of LOVE books which are unhelpful or written from an assortment of either terribly rosy,unrealistic, or pessimistic-worldly viewpoints!! This book is the excellent exception. It is extremely well-written and readable, from both a Christian and scientific background. The research has been done!! Another thing I like about this book is it's high quality tone, written in a sweet manner, with SERVICE, living a Great Example, and LOVING/GIVING TO OTHERS as an hands-on, full-time, AWESOME way of life meant by the Creator. A REAL must-have for anyone who has been, is, or ever hopes to be IN LOVE!!! I found it a Most Helpful Aid in doing what's right--and still expecting a good outcome while being obedient--which can be An Ordeal, let me inform you. This book gently demonstrates what to do and what to think, and how one should give to, and, in context, continually how to forgive, one's significant other (Yes!! in a dignified, natural fashion!! unlike too many "mawwiage"/theology books), and how to save or improve one's own marriage. Quickly!! Expect IMMEDIATE RESULTS!! Best results are achieved when both partners read it, but not required for an instant but eternity lasting marriage-lift!! Can't repeat too many times--results are Permanent and Personal!!! Like no other book I've yet read--YOU, LITERALLY, WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED. A Most Valuable Weapon Award Winner in both developing a life strategy and daily Christian Living.Read full review
