Gary Chapman

Gary Chapman is an American author, speaker, and counselor best known for his concept of "The Five Love Languages," which he introduced in his 1992 book. He posits that people express and receive love in different ways: through Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. Understanding these love languages can help improve communication and strengthen relationships by allowing individuals to express love in ways their partners appreciate most. Chapman's work has had a significant impact on personal relationships, marriage counseling, and self-help literature.
