Did you know Dr. Gary Chapman has teamed up with Dr. Les and Leslie Parrott to write a follow up book to his bestselling 5 Love Languages book?

Dr. Leslie Parrott joins Arlene today to talk about the new book, "The Love Language That Matters Most." While most of us know the five love languages, Leslie reveals that each language has specific "dialects" that can make or break how love is received. You will learn how to personalize love so your spouse, child, family member, or friend can really feel it.

Leslie explains why the love language that matters most is the OTHER persons (not yours), how to stay curious, and the power of asking, "What is one thing I could do to fill your love tank this week?"

04:12 - The love language that matters most is THEIRS, not yours

05:28 - The role of curiosity in loving well

10:08 - How to understand and best utilize love language "dialects"

19:25 - Loving your children in their love language

22:04 - How to adjust when your child becomes a teenager

24:37 - The power of brief connections with adult children

25:47 - Sometimes space and time ARE love

26:10 - The heart behind the book: Helping people deeply feel loved
