I disagree with TWW

IMO if he doesnt love her anymore, then he should go ahead and leave.

Whether his trying lives up to TWW's standards or not, he would still be trying if he were really in love. I see no sense in forcing yourself to love someone. He feels like he's married a little kid; my wife's sister and her husband are in a similar situation (now separated) and she (sister-in-law) gets no sympathy from me.

i'm not into self-help books, as in i've never read one, as in i kind of think they are a huge load of shit...good sounding shit, but shit. shit that you already knew rephrased into fluffy words. but this 5 languages of love book is really the bees knees? can someone elaborate? it has sparked my curiosity and i MAY have to check it out. just to see what all the raving is about.

Well its like breaking down your partner into 5 different categories and basically determining what it will take to make them feel loved according to their needs. If that makes any sense.

it's not really a self-help book -- it's something you want to read _before_ you need help. It sort of breaks down people's emotional needs in ways you never thought of.

we had to read it as part of our pre-marriage counseling.

on the surface it's kind of cheesy, but i definitely learned a lot from it.
