Dr. Gary Chapman has helped more than 150 million people discover their love language. But discovering it is just the beginning. Love isn’t one-size-fits-all. What says “I love you” to one person might not mean a thing to another.

Each love language has dialects—personal and powerful ways love is uniquely expressed and received. Miss them, and even the right language can fall flat.

In this long-awaited follow-up, Dr. Chapman and Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott take the world-changing concept of the 5 Love Languages® one step further. They reveal why love often gets lost in translation—and how learning to speak the right dialect at the right time is the key to deeper connection.

Whether you’re dating, decades into marriage, raising children, caring for aging parents, or deepening lifelong friendships, this book provides you with the tools to make love personal and truly felt.

Die behoefte aan romantiese liefde is diep in ons onderbewussyn gewortel. Om die liefde in die huwelik lewend te hou, is ’n baie ernstige saak.

Dr. Gary Chapman het deur jare se ervaring tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat mense liefde op verskillende maniere bewys en ervaar. As jy jou liefde op ’n manier uitdruk wat jou maat nie verstaan nie, gaan hy of sy nie besef wat jy besig is om te doen nie. Vyf tale van die liefde bespreek die vyf tale van die liefde en help die leser om hul eie taal asook dié van hul maat te identifiseer.

Vyf tale van die liefde fokus op die vyf tale en hoe om hulle kragtig toe te pas:

• Opbouende woorde
• Kwaliteit-tyd
• Geskenke
• Diensbaarheid
• Fisieke aanraking

Hierdie bygewerkte uitgawe kyk ook na die rol van tegnologie in ons verhoudings asook langafstand-verhoudings en bevat ’n bygewerkte vraelys en ’n nadink-vraag aan die einde van elke hoofstuk.

Things I Wish I’d Known Before We Became Parents has one goal: prepare you to raise young children.

Dr. Gary Chapman—longtime relationship expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The 5 Love Languages—teams up with Dr. Shannon Warden—professor of counseling, wife, and mother of three—to give young parents a book that is practical, informed, and enjoyable.

Together they share what they wished they had known before having kids. For example: children affect your time, your money, and your marriage—and that's just the beginning. With warmth and humor they offer practical advice on everything from potty training to scheduling, apologizing to your child, and keeping your marriage strong… all the while celebrating the great joy that children bring.

From the Preface: ""Our desire is to share our own experiences, as well as what we have learned through the years, as we have counseled hundreds of parents. We encourage you to read this book before the baby comes, and then refer to its chapters again as you experience the joys and challenges of rearing children."" — Dr. Gary Chapman
