In reply to Angela.

Well, he says we need all love languages. We just rank them in importance for ourselves, like I appreciate my husband doing nice things for me (Acts of Service) but I’d way rather snuggle with him (Affection), whereas he’s flipped on what’s important there. But we both like those things. Anyway, if your love communication working for you already, enjoy!

And that book about Auschwitz sounds amazing. Wow!

‘I Am Alive’ by Kitty Hart Moxon. I read this book when I was 15 in the early 70s and it’s been with me in my head ever since. Kitty, now in her 90s is a Polish Jew who was transported to Auschwitz in 1943 at the age of 16. Against all odds, she survived and was liberated along with her mother at the end of the war. She has appeared on TV in interviews and documentaries in recent years which have humbled and inspired me more than I can express here.

I have not read ‘The 5 Love Languages’, but I’m familiar with them and have read excerpts. We have been married for 30 years, feeling loved and cherished but I haven’t a clue what my or my husbands ‘love language’ is. All of them? I’m baffled! We might be able to eliminate a couple but then if we do decide on one, how can you live without the others? We must have hit the right one with each other by accident and have never needed to label it. I just don’t think this is the book for us.

For Women Only (Shaunti Feldhahn)
I can’t count how many copies of that book I’ve given away. I wish I had read it years earlier than I did.

In reply to Steve Geiger. The Hiding Place is one of my favorites too :) I felt grateful for everything I owned after finishing it.

“The Upside Down Marriage” by Jim Keller has bettered my marriage in countless ways. It’s written by a marriage and family therapist and addresses healthy conflict, intimacy, finances, boundaries, parenting, midlife crises and everyday issues. Cannot recommend this practical & story filled book enough!

Also, I love the collection of books you listed & will have to check out the 5 Love Languages…sounds very helpful for giving insight into the other 80% of the world who thinks differently than I do!

Victory Over the Darkness by Neil T. Anderson. He shines a brilliant light on who we are and why we have struggled with anger, anxiety, and depression. He helps us understand goals and desires and guides us into success, significance, fullfillment, satisfaction, happiness, fun, security, and peace.

In reply to Jennifer Lee. I haven't read anything of Omartian's beyond her prayer books. I'll take a look! Thanks.
