I've never been good at book reports, so bare with me.

You know how we all speak a different language?
And you know that it's a little difficult to communicate with someone that speaks Chinese when your first language is English?
Well Gary Chapman's book is based on the fact that we all speak a different love language.

I show my husband I love him by buying him a new movie or by telling him how amazing he is.
He shows me he loves me with a kiss.

We're speaking different languages.

Chapman's book, The Five Love Languages, is about learning what your love language is, what your spouses love language is, and the importance of learning to speak it.

The chapters are short, the knowledge is wonderful.
It's the kind of thing that makes you say
Well, that explains a lot.

True love takes an effort that being in love doesn't and I don't know a married person out there that loves their spouse perfectly.

I typed out the quiz for the wife to take, to figure out what her love language is. All you do is choose which of the two statements best represents you. At the end, you count how many of each letter you chose. The letter you chose the most is your love language. If you have two letters that ranked the same, you are "bilingual". It's 30 questions long, and takes about 15 minutes.
