Product Description People express and receive love in different ways. Dr. Gary Chapman identifies these as the five languages of love: Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. If you express love toward others in a way they don't understand, they will not realize you've expressed your love at all. The problem is that you're speaking different languages. Abridged version of the New York Times bestselling title.
Not what I thought November 11, 2008 Pay attention to the title. This is not the book "The Five Languages of Love" - there is a little title above it..."the heart of". So what I thought was the book, The five languages of love, turned out to be a snippet of the actual book. The content was good - just not what I thought it was.
Heart of the Five Love Languages October 23, 2008 This was not quite what I expected. It is an abridgement of the original Five Love Languages. "It sorta leaves ya hangin". Gives an overview of common sense, then it makes a person get a bit mad. Chapman blames a lot of the problems in relationships on women, and as people know, it takes two to be in a relationship, so where is the mans responsibility? Also, I disagree with his point that in order to make someone else happy and "fill their love tank" you must get out and do what they like to do and get out of your comfort zone. If that is how the relationship is going to be...then maybe that is not the relationship for you to be in. You can never make another person happy, they must choose to be happy on their own, otherwise you wear yourself out trying and just resent that person because they don't appreciate you. From my perspective, a relationship should be something that BOTH people are willing to work on. If someone is reading or listening to this book or any other relationship book, then koodoes to them for bettering themselves. I think that there are many other books that are much better and so much more worth the money.
Short but Sweet October 13, 2008 This is a dummied down version of the Five Love Languages. It works, but I wish I would have bought the complete version instead.

I failed to read the full description on this book. It is very small and short. Not the real full version of the original book.
A must read for all September 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Someone lent me The Five Love Languages. I loved it so much, I bought a copy for myself, and The Heart of The Five Love Languages for my sister who is too busy to read the whole book. I think everyone should read it who has or wants to have a relationship of any kind with anyone. I liked it so much, I bought the Five Love Languages for Teenagers and The Five Love Languages for Singles.
Mr. Chapman claims that there are five primary love languages: words of affirmation, physical touch, acts of service, receiving gifts and quality time. Although we all need to be loved in all the ways, there is one love language that is our primary love language. If we are not loved in this primary love language, then our love tank becomes empty and we feel unloved, even if all four other love languages are being spoken to us.
So my conjecture is this may be then, why someone with the love language of words of affirmation would 'fish' for compliments, because they have a deep need to hear affirming words. Happy reading!
