On this beautiful Thanksgiving Day, Dr. Gary Chapman, beloved counselor and author of the Best-Selling 5 Love Languages, sits down with Dr. Zach to explore the deeper work required to build and repair relationships God’s way. This conversation moves beyond the basics of love languages and dives into healing, communication, confession, and forgiveness from a biblical and clinically informed perspective. Dr. Chapman explains how to identify and speak someone’s love language, why apologies must be expressed in multiple “languages” to truly land, and what healthy biblical forgiveness looks like in practice. He unpacks how couples can break painful relational cycles, repair trust without enabling unhealthy behavior, and create daily habits that build long-term connection and emotional intimacy.
