My wife and I had some marital issues (I thought everything was OK and she didn't) and found out it was the way we were communicating our needs. My sister turned me on to this book and it has changed our marriage. In fact, we gifted it to all our siblings and parents for Christmas. I would highly recommend you buy it and both read it, on your own, and come back and talk about your love language. Has definitely made our relationship more rock solid.
