Chapter 1 Blog 3 Love Languages

One aspect of the reading that i found really interesting was regarding how scholars of psychology, sociology, and anthropology apply science to understanding human behavior. I believe the social sciences are tied to the study of human communication because there are so many aspects that can be researched and measured in either a lab or in real world settings. One author that i love has studied in all three of the social science fields and has written some incredible books on human behavior. Anyone ever read The Five Love Languages? Its a fantastic book that really uses all of Dr. Gary Chapman's research and experience to define five key ways in which humans communicate love. It is not limited to romantic relationships either, the love languages apply to family and friend relationships as well. I'm currently reading The Five Love Languages of Children. It's very interesting, and i can absolutely see how it applies to my eight year old son. If any of you have not heard about or read any of The Five Love Languages books, i encourage you to do so! It's amazing the insight that such simple concepts can shed on our relationships with the important people in our lives.
