The book helps understand the mental make-up of different individuals and how we can deal with them. The author draws on his experience as a marriage counsellor and summarizes that there are five languages of love:
1. Quality time
2. Words of Affirmation
3. Gifts
4. Acts of Service
5. Physical Touch
Different individuals have different priorities and in order to connect with our partner, we need to be able to identify what language they best understand. Expressing love in a way that your partner doesn't understand also leads to frustration on both ends as we feel that we are doing a lot and our partner feels that we aren't doing anything for them.
I would suggest this book to anyone who is committed to better understand how to love your partner leading to a happier life :-) There are some things that the author has suggested to do to improve our love language and also how to determine our language through a simple quiz.

the book did change my mind, as well as my life. The only thing I feel sad about this book is I read it too late, that I failed to save my relationship with my girlfriend.
