Additional Information for Chapter 3, page 37
In The Compatibility Code we urge you to purchase Gary Chapman's book The Five Love Languages. As we consider what additional material we should include about love languages an obvious question emerges. Why try to duplicate what Chapman has already done very well? The eventual answer is simple: We won't try.

What we include here is a duplicate from The Compatibility Code (in case you have access to our website but not to the book). If you want more detail, buy Chapman's book!

In Gary Chapman's book The Five Love Languages, one of the most useful relationship books in print. He suggests that we speak different languages when expressing love to one another. The basis of the book's idea is that there is a great deal of marital discord because we attempt to express love to our partner but find ourselves speaking a different language than what our spouse understands. In this context, great effort to express love may not be received or appreciated by the recipient of those efforts. I will list and briefly describe the five languages here, but treat yourself to the much more in depth picture that Chapman paints. It is one of our absolute favorite books and we highly recommend it. Remember, if you put these principals into place in your dating relationship, you'll be ready and much more able to use them when you're married.
