meliache reviewed The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman
Slightly dated self-help book for couples with some thruths despite more anecdotes than science
3 stars
Gary Chapman has a very American confidence in his "Love Languages" hypotheses and illustrates it with many examples. Personally I believe there is something to it, though I think the classification is a bit arbitrary and we are all on a spectrum for each "love language". For a higher rating I would have preferred more scientific backing and clinical evidence instead of the almost too many anecdotal examples, though that's typical of American self-help books and this one holds up pretty well for its age. Expept maybethe Christian focus couples of men and women. But I thinke everybody can learn a thing or two.
