Find Your Spouse's Secret Love Language: Dr. Les & Leslie Parrott


Listen Later

Gabe and Rebekah welcome their longtime friends and marriage experts, Doctors Les and Leslie Parrott. As the co-founders of eHarmony and New York Times bestselling authors, they have spent their lives fighting for the health of relationships in a culture where marriage is often challenged.

In this conversation, they dive into their game-changing new project with Gary Chapman, The Love Language That Matters Most. While many are familiar with the five love languages, the Parrotts take a step deeper into the “dialects"—the specific nuances that help you move past the guessing game and hit the bullseye of your spouse's heart.

From navigating the pressures of cultural advice to rediscovering how research backs up biblical wisdom, this episode is an invitation to move from languishing to true connection in your most important relationship.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The State of Marriage Today: Why there is a reason for optimism and hope for lifelong love, even as cultural trends shift.
  • Love Languages 2.0: How identifying your specific dialect provides a shortcut to making your spouse feel truly seen and loved.
  • The TikTok Trap: Why following general social media evangelists can lead to unnecessary pressure and how to find guardrails for your relationship instead.
  • Real-Life Breakthroughs: A personal look at how shifting from encouragement to compliments changed the rhythm of the Lyons’s own marriage connection.
