Dr. Gary Chapman

Dr. Gary Chapman, a Pastor and expert in marriage counseling, created The 5 Languages of Love assessment. The 5 Languages of Love began with Dr. Chapman's book, New York Times bestseller, "The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate". The popularity of this book has led to special editions of the series specifically for singles, men, and parents of young children and teens. The 5 Love Languages® profile will give you a thorough analysis of your emotional communication preference. It will single out your primary love language, what it means, and how you can use it to connect with your loved one with intimacy and fulfillment. The assessment consists of 30 paired questions designed to identify the taker's primary love language. Go to: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/couples/ to complete your love profile!

According to “The 5 Love Languages” site, the 5 Love Languages quiz is not a quiz, but rather an assessment meant to provide the taker with an analysis of their preferred method of emotional communication.

Dr. John Gottman

Dr. John Gottman
Dr. John Gottman is a professor emeritus known for his work on marital stability and relationship analysis through scientific direct observations. The lessons derived from this work represent a partial basis for the relationship counseling movement that aims to improve relationship functioning and the avoidance of those behaviors shown by Gottman and other researchers to harm human relationships. Gottman was recognized in 2007 as one of the 10 most influential therapists of the past quarter century. Gottman's research showed that it wasn't only how couples fought that mattered, but how they made up. Marriages became stable over time if couples learned to reconcile successfully after a fight. John Gottman talks about the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" - Criticism, Defensiveness, Contempt, and Stonewalling and gender differences in these (female criticism and male stonewalling are most prevalent) are dysfunctional in relationship conflict. These are part of a pattern of escalation of negativity, which indicates dysfunctional interaction.
