What I Learned After 60 Years of Marriage: Dr. Gary Chapman

About this episode

Dr. Gary Chapman discusses the importance of understanding love languages in marriage.

We’ve all been in those seasons where marriage feels a little more like a foreign language than a dance. Maybe you feel like you’re the only one putting in the effort, or perhaps you’ve discovered your spouse’s love language, but your efforts still seem to be missing the mark. Today, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with a true legend, Dr. Gary Chapman. You know him as the author of The 5 Love Languages, but in this interview he takes a step deeper into his newest project, The Love Language That Matters Most. He shares how understanding the unique dialects of love can be the key to finally making your partner feel truly seen and known.
