Why I'd hand it to you
Gary Chapman, a pastor and counselor, argues that people give and receive love in five main ways: words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service and physical touch. When couples speak different languages, they can miss each other's love. The idea is simple and has helped many couples talk more openly. The weak spot is that it oversimplifies people, and researchers have found limited support for the idea that everyone has one main love language. The Christian perspective is also present. As a starting point for conversation in a marriage, it is useful and practical.
