335: How to put the 5 Love Languages into action - with Dr. Gary Chapman

The Simplifiers Podcast

This week, we are talking about the 5 Love Languages and how to put them into action. For a book that’s sold over 20 million copies and has been reprinted in 50 languages around the world, I have a feeling most people have heard of this concept of ‘finding your Love Language’ but not exactly sure how to make it make sense in your own work or life.

My special guest today is author Dr Gary Chapman and he’s simplifying how to put the 5 Love Languages into action. If you’ve got strained relationships where you feel like you’ve tried everything but can’t seem to get through to them, this episode is especially for you.

Here’s how.

My special guest today is Dr. Gary Chapman and he’s simplifying how to put the 5 Love Languages into action. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• A brief overview of what the 5 Love Languages are and how they work. He also shares why he believes that “love has to be more than something you feel… It has to be something you do.

• Words of Affirmation

• Quality Time

• Receiving Gifts

• Acts of Service

• Physical Touch

• Details about his latest book, “Love is a Choice” which compiles 28 extraordinary stories of the 5 Love Languages in action and we zoom in on 3 of those special stories.

• Talks about a time when a random act of kindness made an incredible difference to a stranger.

• Decide if the word “compromise” is a negative word in a friendship or relationship - why or why not

• …and ultimately, he shared his advice for couples where one person’s natural response is to try to “fix” the other person, instead of simply loving them in their Love Language and how to navigate those waters.

This book has been pivotal to so many relationships around the world. I mean it’s the one book that is most given as a wedding present to new couples than any others.

And I think at the heart of it is that it gives us a simple framework to remember how to show our appreciation for another person in a way they like to receive it. You can write thank you letters and buy people gifts all day long, but if Quality Time is their primary Love Language, they really just want to spend time with you… Nothing else matters.

Learn the secrets on today’s episode to avoid making the same mistake over and over again in your most cherished relationships. Q: Are you ready to learn how to put the 5 Love Languages into action? If yes, this one is for you.

It’s time to #DoTheThing!
