The Language of Love

We all want to be understood. We all want to have someone not only “hear” our words, but adapt and change after truly understanding them.

But sometimes, it can seem like no matter how often, or how many different ways we say something – they just don’t seem to get it.

Communication is at the heart of every strong relationship. But too often, the way we talk keeps us from being truly heard. That’s where The Language of Love comes in.

This timeless, best-selling, resource by Gary Smalley and Dr. John Trent introduces the concept of the emotional word picture—a simple but profound tool that uses imagery to communicate not just information, but emotion.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to create word pictures that connect emotionally and spiritually
• Real-life stories showing how emotional word pictures can turn conflict into connection
• A step-by-step guide to building your own word pictures for your spouse, kids, friends, or coworkers
• Practical ways to break through walls and open hearts—especially when communication has been hard or broken

Drawing on biblical wisdom and years of counseling and family ministry, The Language of Love gives you a whole new way to speak to the hearts of those you love.

• Great for couples, parents, counselors, and ministry teams
• Includes examples and templates for common conversations
• Helps deepen empathy and reduce miscommunication

Whether you're trying to restore a marriage, reach a teenager, or simply become a more effecting and compassionate communicator, The Language of Love will equip you to speak words that build bridges—and bring lasting change.
