Love Languages?
Dr. Gary Chapman:
I decided to write this book af-
ter using the five love languages in my counseling for
twenty years. I realized what a tremendous change it
made in couples who learned how to speak each oth-
er's language. I thought if I could write a book in the
language of the common person, leaving out the psy-
chological jargon, I could help a lot of people.
WC:

By nature we tend to express love in our own lan-
