I am repeating this posting in all the Blogs because I think the message, and Mr. Chapman's book, warrant it. While the book has been mentioned primarily by Christian couples, I believe that the message is valuable for couples of all faiths.

I’ve interviewed most of the Christian couples that appear here on Thegoldenrulesoflife.com and in our soon-to-be-released DVD “The Golden Rules: A Modern Guide To Traditional Engagement” and in their interviews, many of them mention a book called “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. With all the self-help and “this is how you do it” books out there I was amazed that so many couples not only read the book, but found it helpful. So, I went to Barnes and Noble and bought it and I can now say, firsthand, that it provides wonderful insight into making a relationship as great as it can be. I have long been a believer that one of the most important things in a relationship is not giving what you want to give, or saying what you want to say (or how you want to say it), but focusing on giving and saying what the other person needs or needs to hear. I don’t mean say what you don’t mean, but rather find ways to express yourself that will be meaningful to the receiver. Mr. Chapman says it more eloquently than I, but I think he shares this view.
