Dr Chapman's 5 love languages are real. Real people do really have one or two of them as their highest relational priorities.
And, a lot of conflicts can be minimized or solved by merely
TRANSLATING into the love language of the one you want to communicate well
with.
That can take some learning and experimenting but it's very doable.
Certainly folks can bumble around ignorant of the love languages and even have a fairly decent relationship if other factors are not too far in the
pits.
However, why not make the most of all our relationships. Life is toooooooo short to have less than fulfilling and richly rewarding loving close
relationships. imho.
I suppose it's considered by SOME to be OK--to a point--at some level--given free will and all--to focus on horror movies; alcohol, zombies and
battering one's partner up one side and down the other [No--abuse is NOT OK] . . . But that's not my reality as to what's worthwhile and valuable in
life.
It's much more rewarding AND EXCITING to me, to see a smile on a loved one's face; to see the 'finally understanding one another light bulb' go on in
someone's eyes; to see a child or a loved one exalt, wallow in, luxuriate in the confident love of a bonded, very connected relationship. I've given
most of my life toward such goals and changes in individuals and relationships. I don't intend to end otherwise.
