A Teens Guide to the 5 Love Languages – Review
Have you heard of the 5 Love Languages? I have found that learning and applying the 5 Love Languages to all my significant relationships has greatly improved each one. It has also helped me to better understand myself.
Using the principles behind the 5 Love Languages enriches relationships. Do you know how it would be even more effective? It would be even more effective if both parties involved were versed in it! For this very reason I love that there are a variety of 5 Love Language books.
Here are just a few of them:
- The 5 Love Languages Singles Edition
- The 5 Love Languages for Men: Tools for Making a Good Relationship Great
- The 5 Love Languages of Children: The Secret to Loving Children Effectively
- The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers
- The 5 Love Languages Military Edition
If you are not familiar with the 5 Love Languages let me give you a quick overview. Here is what the author, Gary Chapman, says about The 5 Love Languages:
My conclusion after thirty years of marriage counseling is that there are basically five emotional love languages—five ways that people speak and understand emotional love. In the field of linguistics a language may have numerous dialects or variations. Similarly, within the five basic emotional love languages, there are many dialects….The important thing is to speak the love language of your spouse.
Here’s a brief description of what each of them mean:
- Words of Affirmation: Expressing affection through spoken affection, praise, or appreciation.
- Acts of Service: Actions, rather than words, are used to show and receive love.
- Receiving Gifts: Gifting is symbolic of love and affection.
- Quality Time: Expressing affection with undivided, undistracted attention.
- Physical Touch: It can be sex or holding hands. With this love language, the speaker feels affection through physical touch.
