Speaking from the Heart: 18 Languages for Modern Love - Anne Hodder-shipp

Speaking from the Heart: 18 Languages for Modern Love is an updated and expansive approach that recognizes that Love Languages apply to ALL relationships - not just heterosexual marriage. And there's WAY more than five of them. nLove languages are a theory related to the ways people express, identify, and receive love. Think about them like literal languages: there are upwards of 6,500 different languages in the world, which means there are at LEAST 6,500 different ways humans communicate with each other. Many languages also have various dialects (German has 250!) which are like languages within a language. While we all may be saying the same or similar things, we use a wide variety of words, movements, and sounds to express them, and there is no single official or correct way to do it. Same goes for love. nUnderstanding how we do (and don't) express and receive love can be a foundational part of our most nourishing relationships. Rejecting relationship hierarchy and centering platonic love, Speaking from the Heart: 18 Languages for Modern Love gives readers a tangible tool for identifying their needs while navigating others', and does so with a friendly and direct attitude. n n nn
