What I’ve learned in 30 years as a counselor may help you
You are on the frontline of what seems to be a never-ending challenge: helping couples, parents, children, teenagers and single men and women deal with heart-wrenching issues. You see:
- Men and women who’ve been married for years who can’t quite grasp why their mate
doesn’t feel loved by them, or why they themselves don’t feel loved by their spouse.
- Adults, children, and teenagers suffering the deep emotional pain and anger of not feeling
loved, or not being able to express love appropriately
- Single adults who wonder why they can’t find their one true love, not realizing what love really is.
In an effort to address these needs, I began focusing on love languages—ways that people can reflect and receive love. The results have been nothing less than amazing. I’ve seen marriages restored, children and teens reunited with their parent, anger dissipated, young couples begin their marriages in the healthiest way, friendships restored—all because of people learned to recognize real words and actions of love.
I invite you to share these books with your clients in hopes that you may experience similar, life-giving results. Ideal for couples counseling, to study in small groups, present them as gifts to your couples in premarital counseling and to newlyweds.
Gary Chapman has traveled extensively around the world challenging couples to pursue healthy, growing marriages. His first book, Toward a Growing Marriage (Moody, 1979, 1996), began as an informal resource he gave to couples with whom he was counseling. Once officially published, this book became a blessing to thousands of people and helped launch Gary’s popular “Toward a Growing Marriage” seminar. Since 1979, Gary has written more than 15 books, including the perennial best-seller, The Five Love Languages. He is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute and holds B.A. and M.A. degrees in anthropology from Wheaton College and Wake Forest University, respectively. He received M.R.E. and Ph.D. degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and has completed postgraduate work at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Duke University.
