Now You're Speaking My Language is the newest paperback release from The New York Times best-selling author of The Five Love Languages. In this conversion of the Gold Medallion Award-winning Covenant Marriage, Chapman encourages spouses to exhibit loyalty, forgiveness, empathy, and commitment to resolving conflict in order to foster spiritual growth. Readers will learn lasting principles for marital growth, how a couple's relationship with God enhances a marriage, how "oneness" involves not only sex, but also intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social oneness, and how communication is the key to it all. Helping readers to navigate their marriage with chapters on "Unhealthy Patterns of Communication," "Five Levels of Communication," as well as several chapters on the different types of intimacy, Chapman considers this title his best work.
