Most people are familiar with the five love languages: acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, and physical touch. What some people might not know, though, is the story of how they came to be. This episode, we talk with Dr. Gary Chapman, the author of The Five Love Languages book and Bible study (now with video access!), about the origin story of the five love languages. As Dr. Chapman shares the background of why he decided to write The Five Love Languages, you'll also gain a better understanding of  how people give and receive love differently. You'll want to listen to this episode with your husband!
