Very interesting. I especially think the bit about learning partner's love language is important. I forwarded it to my DH. Though you might like to read it.

Poor man, he's taken his divorce very hard hasn't he. Blames himself. To make sense of what he writes we should take it as read these tips apply to women as well.

It's all a bit waffly and vague and theoretical, not practical.
I think it's best to assume that the other person is human like you and is capable of feeling the same feelings and having the same needs.

"Love language"? What? Sorry, language is a means of communication, love language isn't different from any other type - if you can't understand your DP's "love" language, it's because you're not listening. You don't need to learn a new language, you just need to listen to what s/he's saying in the language you both use to communicate.

I though the "learning someone's love language" had been exploded as codswallop years ago (still sells loads of books, though).

Absence of housework or child-rearing input is a much bigger issue than choice of vocabulary.

I think it is written by an American Christian. It has that vibe, but I still really like it.

Is it mean that I'd crack up laughing if DH tried to be an EPIC LOVER and get me to melt into my feminine softness?

I liked the bit about how people change throughout their lives, though, and how you don't just make the choice to be with someone once, you keep making it over and over.
