Love Languages

I found a letter in my overnight bag on my wedding night from my mom. She had written it for be telling me how proud she was of me and happy she was for me. She also included some marriage advice. My mom had an awesome marriage. She was so lucky to be married to a great man that loved her so much. I really respected and looked to their marriage as a model for my own. Back to the letter, inside one of the things that she mentioned was to seek advice wherever I could to improve and make my marriage great. And that there were not only great people who could give it, but hundreds of excellent books written on marriage and family that could give great insight and advice. So in keeping with my belief that my mom was such a wise woman when it came to relationships, whether it be with her kids, friends or husband, that I decided to finally pick up and read this book The Five Love Languages that's been sitting in our bookcase since my first bridal shower.

Miche is super reluctant to seek marriage advice from anyone that doesn't know us personally. But I on the other hand, have a little more faith in some of these awesome authors. Even though Gary Chapman obviously doesn't know us personally, or anything about our situation, there were so many things in this book that made SO much sense and that I could relate directly to our marriage.

Our marriage is awesome. Me and Miche have a great relationship that never ceases to amaze me. But I'm a firm believer in that even though great, nothing is perfect, and there is always room for improvements to make it even better. So I highly recommend this book. It gave me awesome insight not just into our marriage but also to myself. I learned things about myself that while I'd always knew, had never been explained so simply and so well. I think any person, in any relationship, could benefit from reading this book! Check it out and let me know what ya think!
