What If Your Covenant Is Broken?
by Dr. Gary Chapman
The scriptures view marriage as a covenant relationship for a lifetime. But what if your spouse breaks the covenant? Are you to abandon them? Or, try to cover up for them?
Neither of these are biblical approaches. Jesus said, that when a spouse sins, we are to confront them, hoping they will repent, so we can forgive them.
If they don't repent, we are to try confronting again. If they ultimately refuse to repent, we are to treat them as an unbeliever. How do you treat unbelievers? You pray for them, you love them, and you return good for evil. Who knows when they may repent and the relationship can be restored?
God often confronted Israel and always stood ready to forgive when they repented. He is our model.

Creating a Warm Emotional Climate in Your Marriage
by Dr. Gary Chapman
One of our deepest desires is to feel that we are genuinely loved by our spouse. In fact, if we feel loved the whole world looks bright. But if we do not feel loved, then the world begins to look dark. The key to meeting each others need for love is to learn what really makes the other person feel loved and do it regularly. I believe that there are only five basic love languages, five ways to express love. They are: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.
Out of these five languages, each of us has a primary love language. One of these speaks more deeply to us than the other four. If you don't speak each other's primary love language, you may be sincere in speaking the others, but your spouse will not feel loved. When you speak their primary love language their love tank will be filled and you will likely have a happy spouse. If you want to see the emotional warmth return to your marriage, then discover each others primary love language and speak it regularly.

How to Discover Your Primary Love Language?
by Dr. Gary Chapman
Everyone has a primary love language, but seldom does a husband a wife have the same love language. One wife, whose primary love language was quality time, but her husband seldom spent time with her said, "He gives me nice gifts for my birthday and special occasions and wonders why I am not excited about them. I don't want gifts, I want him."
Do you see the importance of speaking each other's primary love language? Here are three questions that will help you discover your own primary language. (1) What do I complain about the most? (2) What do I request most often? (3) How do I normally show my love to others? Answer these three questions and you will know your love language. Turn them around and you can discover the love language of your spouse. What does he complain about the most? What does he request most often, and How does he normally show love to others?
Once again, here are the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.

The Power of Gifts
by Dr. Gary Chapman
Years ago, while completing a Masters degree in Anthropology, I visited by means of detailed ethnographies fascinating peoples all over the world. I went to Central America and studied the advanced cultures of the Mayans and the Aztecs. I crossed the Pacific and studied the tribal peoples of Melanesia and Polynesia. I studied the Eskimos of the northern tundra and the aboriginal Ainus of Japan. I examined the cultural patterns surrounding love and marriage and found that in every culture I studied, gift giving was a part of the love-marriage process.
Anthropologists are enamored by cultural patterns that tend to pervade cultures, and so was I. I concluded that gift giving is a fundamental expression of love that transcends cultural barriers.
A gift is something you can hold in your hand and say, "Look, he was thinking about me." "He loves me." Have you given your spouse a gift lately?
Gifts are visual symbols of love. Most wedding ceremonies include the giving and receiving of rings. The person performing the ceremony says, "These rings are outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual bond that unites your two hearts in love that has no end." That is not meaningless rhetoric. It is verbalizing a significant truth - symbols have emotional value.
Visual symbols of love are more important to some people than to others. That's why when you give a gift to some people, they are greatly moved emotionally. They say "Oh, I can't believe you did this for me. You are so thoughtful." You may even see their eyes moisten with a tear. For this person receiving a gift is their "primary love language." It speaks more deeply than words or acts of service.
Without gifts, they may even question your love. If gifts is your spouse's primary love language, nothing is more important emotionally than giving them a gift. And nothing more painful than having the anniversary pass with no gift.

What Is Your Primary Love Language?
by Dr. Gary Chapman
What is your primary love language? Here are the five love languages; choose one: Words of Affirmation, Quality time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. Which of these makes you feel most loved? One approach to discovering your primary love language is to look back over your marriage and ask, "What have I most often requested of my spouse?"
One wife said, "When I asked that question, my love language became obvious. I have requested 'Quality Time'. Over and over again, I have asked him if we could go on a picnic, take a walk together, or just cut the TV off for one hour and talk with each other. I have felt neglected and unloved because seldom did he ever respond to my request."
Later she said, "Dr. Chapman, during your seminar, the lights came on for both of us. My husband apologized for being so resistant to my requests. I think things will be different in the future." And they were. What is your primary love language?
