May Book Group

Ladies,


Our movie night last week was SO.MUCH.FUN! We had an incredible turnout and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did. We will definitely have to do another movie night in the future!

For May, we will be reading The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. We discussed this book a few years ago, and it was so good, we're going to do it again! This time we will also incorporate The Five Love Languages of Children. You may want to check this one out if you have already read the original book. However, I find that this is a book (the origianal) I read over and over!

We will meet Thursday, May 6th at 8:30 pm. We still need a host! If you would be willing to host in May (or June...or July...) please let me know!

Below is a brief summary of the book:

Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice.

There is also a questionnaire to help determine your love language.

And remember, in June we are reading Hunger Games and Catching Fire (you really have to read both!) by Suzanne Collins.

Happy Reading!
Aubrey
