I had never thought about the different ways that people "speak" love before this. It does explain why some girls just love a phone call, flowers or a card and others would prefer a back rub, doing the laundry, or a nice Sunday drive up the parkway. And it applies to men as well.
In addition, it addresses the "in love" vs. "love" thing.
I'd recommend it to anyone asking.

haha, I was going to bring up this book, but thought it would be too "mushy" for James.
I was quite surprised...I read this book after a friend recommended it to me (well, okay, I haven't finished it yet...but I will eventually). But anyways, I was talking about it w/ another friend one night at dinner...and Mike (husband) was there w/ us. He said, "What is this you're talking about?" and I said, "Oh, nothing. Just this book that was recommended to me and I started reading it." He then proceeds to tell me that he knows exactly what I'm talking about b/c he saw it laying on our dresser and started reading it himself when he couldn't sleep one night!
I was so shocked that he actually took the initiative to check this out for himself. Neither of us have finished reading it yet...but what I've read so far is pretty helpful, and I also would recommend it to anyone.
