Summary
Summary
To love and be loved, what could be more important?The craving to be loved is our deepest emotional need. Each of us feels loved when others speak our primary love language. We are drawn to that person because he or she is meeting our basic need to feel loved. The love languages in human relationships are a reflection of divine love. If man is indeed made in the image of God, then we would expect to find all five love languages (and more ) expressed in the character and nature of God. Dr. Chapman's goal for readers is that they may be led to explore the possibility of speaking different love languages to God and thus expanding their own understanding of God and others.

Excerpts
Excerpts
Most often, one's search for God is influenced by culture. If our culture says, "This is the way to God," then we tend to pursue accordingly. But love is a matter of the heart, the soul, not ritual or religion. I am convinced that each of us has a "primary love language," and when we listen to God in our "heart language," we will experience His love most intimately. I am also convinced that God speaks your "love language" fluently.
