The 5 Love Languages

A 12 week DVD Study with Dr. Gary Chapman

Dr. Chapman discovered that there are five key categories, or five love languages, that couples use and would like to receive from their spouse. He believes that we all identify primarily with one of them:

Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service
Physical Touch

Since his book The 5 Love Languages™ debuted in 1992, millions of marriages and relationships have discovered these truths and used them to find healthy change in the ways they express love to one another. Those couples who have brought these time tested truths into their marriage have often seen a rebirth of the love they thought was gone, never to return.

Listen to Dr. Chapman below, and take the quick quiz to determine your Love Language, then click here to pre-register for this study and we’ll call you when we have a few couples who would like to go through this study at a time and geographical area similar to your choice.
