Los Cinco Lenguajes del Amor para Solteros (The Five Love Languages for Singles, Spanish edition) Paperback – January 1, 2005

I had the original book on my wish list for some time, and then I found out about this book. Later, I saw a friend of mine from church who had a copy, and she said it was wonderful. So I immediately ordered my own copy.I was not disappointed.Seeing these insights led me to realize why it was that I preferred certain activities and certain behaviors in a relationship, and it leads me to explore what another could want from me. And since this is directed towards single adults, this seemed more applicable to my situation than the original.Now, a warning to the non-religious. Yes, this book quotes the Bible frequently. But instead of doing so with the intention of disguising a religious tract as a self-help book, the author does a masterful job of quoting scripture while staying marvelously on point, and he maintains the focus implicitly promised in the title-helping you improve your relations with others.If you are a single adult, read this book. Don't let the religious sprinklings turn you off. This book is valuable even if you ignore them.

I got this book knowing that I needed to learn how to love others, as well as learn to know when someone is trying to give me love, so that I can better receive it. I grew up in a very dysfunctional home. Well, this book gave me some amazing insight and I am very glad to have ordered this and read it. I zipped through it, chapter a day.However, I am very upset that just reading through it once the book has fallen apart, but I have taken all my notes inside the book, therefore a new book is hardly an option as it would take way too much time to go through and re put in all of these notes, but I would like a refund, because a book should not fall apart after reading it just once. I have owned the book for less than 10 days and the majority of the pages have fallen out.all in all, totally worth reading, just disappointed that my book fell apart in such a short amount of time with me just reading it.

I am not a religious person, spiritual is more of what I would call myself. I was a bit leery at first to read THe 5 love languages book because it is classified as a "Christian" marriage/ self-help book. I have to say that is part of the book, but NOT to the point where it over-rides the core message- learning how you love and how to love others. My husband and I have been married for 13 years and I was ready to leave...this was our last chance to see if there was anything left. I started reading and within a week, he was reading it, too. If you really love someone, but are having a hard time understanding them, or don't feel as loved as you should- read this book. Our marriage shifted in ways I NEVER thought possible. Just knowing each others Love Language has made a huge difference! We actually talk, share, and have a common vocabulary in which to live. I think it is so important for all adults, I bought my sister (who is single and just turning 20) a copy of this book. I think that ANYONE who wants to start a healthy relationship should read this book.

When a friend suggested I read it, I thought it would be a re-hash of religious concepts that I had heard so many times before- but it's not. There is sound psychology here to improve relationships. If you are religious, there are religious and spiritual elements in the discussion. But understanding the behavioral and psychological dimensions of human desire to love and be loved and using these 5 basic patterns seems like wise advise. For those of us that may have grown up in somewhat dysfunctional families or with one or more parents that was unable to emote, this is book provides ways to heal. it may be particularly helpful for people who have the same repeated relationship failures. The case stories are helpful at first, but got a little repetitive by the end of the book. I would still recommend reading this book- for help with personal relationships and even with co-workers and for single parents with their children.

I wish this book had been around and found it's way into my hands when I was 20. Chapters 10 and 11 hit me like a TON OF BRICKS. Heck, for that matter, the entire book did. Young people, please read this book. It will save you a lot of heartache and misery in the area of dating and relationships, no doubt. The contents of this book made clear to me, in stark detail, all of the mistakes I made in the past. So much I could have done differently, so much that might be different now. Knowing these things would have prevented me from aimlessly wandering from so-called relationship to so-called relationship over the years. You will view past relationships through an entirely new prism, and will have the tools to truly love in the present and future. It will no doubt be painful for you if you read this right after a failed relationship, as it was for me. Before reading, I tried to remember to read it looking forward, not back, but that proved to be very difficult. However, it was a process that needed to happen in order for me to grow and learn. You may find a good portion of this book's content to be something that deep down you probably have always known, but either haven't thought about for a long time or lost somewhere along the way. Read this and wander no more. As another reviewer said so well, it truly does prepare you to love. I know I have pleaded with young people, but any single adult would be incredibly served by reading this book. Thank you for writing this, Gary Chapman. I am in debt to you.
