Years ago, The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman was recommended to me. It has been one of the most helpful books on relationships I've ever read. So much so that I have recommended it to friends who I knew could use help in their relationships. 57 Ways To Show Your Love is written very much in that vein, only in this book the author presents SIX "love styles"."Love styles" are the ways we give and receive love. If you want one style but your partner is giving you another style you will not feel as loved as you want and need. Unfortunately everyone has different love styles that work for them, and its rare when a couple understands this and gives the other one what they truly need. This book will help you understand not only what you need, but how to understand what your partner needs. And love styles do not only work for couples, like spouses. Everyone has different needs (ways of communicating), children, parents, relatives, co-workers. If you understand someone else's love styles then communicating with them on a level they inherently understand will produce more positive outcomes for you.The book tells us that there are no right or wrong love styles, everyone is unique. Briefly, these love styles are: Gifts, Body connection, Practical assistance, Meaningful time, Words of love and support, and Deep listening. Each is unique and each is described in detail. Which one is yours? Which one is your partners? Understanding each others love styles is the key to true happiness in your relationship(s).I would recommend this book for anyone who is having problems in their relationship, or anyone who just wants to improve their relationship. I would also recommend sharing this book with your loved one. Communication is the most important thing in any relationship, and if you can both discuss what each of your love styles are, and how to best give each other what will show them you love them, you will definitely improve your relationship and be much happier in your life.This book CAN change your life for the better. For that and the low price I easily give it 5 stars. If you want a happier relationship- get it.
