#11 The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts

I always encourage my clients to read “The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts. The book provides readers with an opportunity to shift their perspective.

We spend majority of our adult lives learning how to survive in the “real” world yet few of us have ever taken the time to learn how to foster healthy relationships. The book breaks down the different ways people yearn to be loved. Readers gain a deeper understanding of their wants and needs within a relationship.In addition, readers begin to understand that the way their partner expresses love may not reflect what they look for in return. These sentiments are crucial in building a strong relationship in the future.
