Summary
Marriage is about learning to love your spouse in the way they best understand love—their unique love language. Marriage experts Dr. Gary Chapman and Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott join forces to help you identify your spouse’s love language and become fluent in expressing love in meaningful, personalized ways. Together, they explore the subtle “dialects” within each love language and encourage you to be more intentional and authentic in how you love your spouse.
