The
Heart of the Five Love Languages by Gary D. Chapman - Hardcover
People express and receive love in different ways. Dr. Gary
Chapman reveals five specific languages of love: quality time, words
of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, and physical
touch.
What speaks volumes to you may be meaningless to someone else.
If you express love towards others in a way they don't understand,
they will not realize you've expressed your love at all.
The problem is that you're speaking different languages! The key
is understanding each other's unique needs—their own
unique love language. Discover which love language speaks the most
to you; how you can make life more meaningful to others (using
their love language)—and
experiencing love in return.

not mutually intelligible. ASL is instead related to French
