Quality Content - For MARRIED Men,
This review is from: FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES, MEN'S EDITION, PAPER BACK (Paperback)
The title should be changed to "MARRIED Men's Edition."I bought the book hoping it would be more specific to all men (and sans the sissy purple cover!) than the original version. This book is 100% a marriage counselling book. I am not married. Don't buy this book if you're single, and looking for generic advice on love languages of all those around you. It's only about YOU and YOUR WIFE. With that said: -The content of this book is really excellent. It makes one think hard about how he treats (and is treated by) his significant other. -Clearly, there is an agenda to the book, as every new chapter lists the five love languages again, and every few pages, Chapman reminds the reader that everyone needs to discover his own and his wife's love language. -This is a book written for the average Joe. It's not heavy with high-brow wordage or university-level concepts of psychology, philosophy, or theology. It is simply and plainly written, and is at times redundant. Chapman likely does this on purpose, to drive home points to thick-headed readers, or those reading it while falling asleep :) I highly recommend this to all married men. I do think it has prepared me for marriage in some neat ways, but it is certainly not hitting me exactly where I'm at at this moment. Perhaps the 'singles edition' is better-suited, and not as vacuous as its description originally sounded.

If you haven't read his other books, read this. Otherwise skip it!,

Like a couple of other reviewers I had read the original Five Love Languages. It is insightful and has helped me and my wife communicate much more effectively. If you haven't read that, then by all means buy this book. Unfortunately this book has hardly been changed from its original edition and I believe that there should be some sort of disclaimer. Luckily Amazon accepted the return (I purchased the Kindle edition) as I reported this to them within a day of purchase.

My husband and I enjoyed and learned from the first one we read. I thought this version would be geared toward men and he might like it. Imagine our surprise when we opened the book and the stories were the same.

Read with an open mind,
By Smack - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES, MEN'S EDITION, PAPER BACK (Paperback)
I think many guys, myself included, are in a box when it comes to loving our wives. I did things my way but neither of us were happy, we stayed together for the kids. One night i decided that the problem must be me. I talked with my wife and told her i was going to change for her. The only thing was that i didn't know how to change. I went to the book store and found this book and read it and it made perfect sense and it was just too easy. I recommend you to read the book but only read it if you are willing to change, if you are not then you are wasting your time and no one can help you. YOU must be ready to give love and accept love.
