No More Perfect Podcast with Jill Savage

Love is a Choice with Dr. Gary Chapman | Episode 143


Listen Later

If there is one principle I have learned in nearly 40 years of marriage, it’s the principle that love is a choice. It’s a decision. It is not a feeling.

Dr. Gary Chapman believes that as well because “choice” is in the name of his newest book. Dr. Gary Chapman is an author, speaker, and counselor who has a passion for helping people form lasting relationships. You may recognize his name from his book, The 5 Love Languages, which is a resource that Mark and I often use in our marriage coaching (Gary also wrote the foreword to our book No More Perfect Marriages). Today, he is going to help us understand even more about love and how it is a conscious choice in our relationships.

In this conversation, you'll hear:

  • Why love is more than an emotion
  • A review of the 5 Love Languages and what they look like in action
  • Highlights of a few of the 28 stories featured in his latest book
  • The perspective shift Mark took from our last conversation with Dr. Gary Chapman
  • And much more!

It is always a pleasure when I get to have a conversation with Dr. Gary Chapman and I'm glad I get to share it with you this week!
