“Falling in love is easy. Staying in love—that’s the challenge. How can you keep your relationship fresh and growing amid the demands, conflicts, and just plain boredom of everyday life?”
This famous question was asked by the great Author Gary Chapman. If that name rings a bell, you probably have read the 5 Love Languages. If you haven’t read the book, there is no question that Chapman’s work and the love language theory have touched your life in some way.
This #1 New York Times international bestseller has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. That’s not including how the ideas in this book have translated into online courses, Church curriculums, marriage counseling certifications, and so much more. Today is part one of our two-part series on the love topic!
Dr. Ram and Chris are here for another episode. If you’re married or in a relationship and your significant other has said to you “we never spend time together anymore,” this episode is going to be a game changer for your relationship because we know what their love language is!
