joreth: (Polydragon)

This is something I've written about on PMM as the subject comes up, and I have this conversation with people as they move closer into my Monkeysphere and become in danger of offending me without understanding why.  So since I saw it recently in someone else's journal, I'm taking the opportunity to discuss it.  

The Five Love Languages, by Dr. Gary Chapman, was quite a revolutionary book for me. I highly recommend everyone read it, and follow up with the Five Love Languages for Singles. He gets a little preachy/religious at the very end, but it's still a worthwhile book.

The book is all about how we communicate "Love" , and how different people communicate it in different ways, which sets us up for all kinds of heartache if we don't know how the other person is communicating and they don't know how we communicate.
