‘We Had … Struggles’: ‘Five Love Languages’ Creator’s Own Love Story
Gary and Karolyn Chapman’s marriage almost didn’t outlast the “honeymoon phase.” But God showed Gary a new way for couples to express their love for each other—transforming not only their marriage, but those of others as well.
Gary’s best-selling book “The Five Love Languages” has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide, and helped couples better communicate their love to one another. Hear Gary’s story and how he uses these “languages” to counsel struggling couples—including those in the U.S. military—on this episode of GPS: God. People. Stories.

Mark 10:27😊❤
Mark 10:17-31
( The Rich young man)
“17 And as he(Jesus😊1st❤) was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, ” Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? ”
18 And Jesus(😊1st❤) said to them,
” Why do you call me good? No one is good except God(😊100%❤) alone😊❤.
19 You knoe the commandments:
” Do not murder,
Do not commit adultery,
Do not😊❤ steal,
Do not 😊❤
bear false witness,
Do not😊❤ defraud,
Honor😊❤ your father😊❤ and mother😊❤.’ ”
20 And he said to him, ” Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.”
21 And Jesus(😊1st❤), looking at him, loved him, and said to him, ” You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.22 Dishearted by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possession.
23 And Jesus(😊1st❤) looked around and said to his disciples, ” How difficult it will be for those who have weath to enter the kingdom 😊❤ of God😊❤! ”
24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus(😊1st❤) said to them again,
” Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him,
” Then who can be saved? ”
27 Jesus(😊1st❤) looked ❤
at them(😊❤’S) and said,
” With man it is impossible,
but😊❤ not with God(😊100%❤).”
( You might ask why? )
” For all things😊❤
are possible😊❤ with God(😊100%❤).”
28 Peter😊❤ began to say to him, ” See we have left everything and followed😊❤ you(Jesus😊1st❤).”
29 Jesus(😊1st❤) said❤,
” Truly😊❤, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father
or children
or lands, for my sake😊❤ and for the gospel😊❤,
30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age 😊❤
to come😊❤ eternal life😊❤.
31 But many who are first will be last, and the last 😊❤
first😊❤.”( Mark 10:17-31 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤. Today since you have followed Jesus😊1st❤ in Christ too, have you also experience everything that Jesus said in Mark 10: 29b- 31
“…left
house
or
brothers
or
sisters
or
mother or
father
or
children
or
lands,
for my sake😊❤ and for the gospel😊❤,
30 who
will not
receive a hundredfold now
in this time, houses
and brothers and
sisters
and mothers and children and
lands,
with persecutions,
and in the age 😊❤
to come😊❤ eternal life😊❤.
31 But😊❤ many who are first
will be last,
and
the last 😊❤
first😊❤.”( Mark 10:29b-31 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ in Christ😊❤.
I also have experience everything what Jesus😊1st❤ said from Mark 10:29-31😊❤. Have you also left someone or family members and ects.. because you choose to follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤). I have/ had already in Christ. Have you too?
Why do i say Jesus😊1st❤?
If Jesus is giving you an invitation also to follow him, would you also follow him(Jesus😊1st❤) too ? Do you also love Jesus😊1st❤ more than any others mentioned from Mark 10:29 and hope you also trust Mark 10:30-31(😊❤) too by faith in Jesus😊1st❤ in Christ.
I trust in Jesus 😊1st❤ said❤ in Mark 10:29, 29b- 31 in Christ 😊❤too
1 Corinthians 9:22😊❤-23😊❤
“22 To the weak😊❤ I became weak😊❤, that I might❤ win❤the weak❤😊. I have😊❤ become❤ all things❤ to❤
all people❤, that by all means❤ i might save😊❤ some(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ in Christ).
23 I do it all❤ for the sake❤ of the gospel😊❤ that I may share❤ with them(😊❤’s) in its😊❤ blessings😊❤.”( 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 ESV Study Bible)
Exodus 5:10-14 of Exodus 5:1-23(Making bricks without Straw)
Exodus 5:10-14
“10 So the taskmakers and the foremen of the people went out and said to the people,
” Thus says Pharaoh,
‘ I will not give you straw.
11 Go and get your straw yourselves wherever you can find it, but your works will not be reduced in the least.’ ”
12 So the people😊❤ were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt stubble for straw.
13 The taskmasters were urgent, saying, ” Complete your work, your daily task each day, as when there was straw.”
14 And then foremen of the people😊❤ of Israel😊❤, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, ” Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past? ” ” ( Exodus 5 :10-14 ESV Study Bible)
First of all, it’s a long chapter in Christ. So please be patient in Christ. It takes time to share❤ in Christ.
Second in above Scriptures who are you ? The Taskmasters or the foremen of the people?
Or Exodus 5:1😊❤ middle of the verse( Thus says the LORD😊❤
, the God(😊100%❤)
of Israel😊❤…”( from Exodus 5:1 middle of the verse ESV Study Bible)
Third, Do you also see Exodus 5:12
“12 So the people😊❤ were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt stubble for straw.”( Exodus 5:12 ESV Study Bible)
In Exodus 5:10b , the Phase ” … Thus says Pharoah,…”( from Exodus 5:10b ESV Study Bible). My ESV Study Bible said in quotes is
” In contrast to ” Thus says the LORD😊❤, “( from Exodus 5:1b or the Bible said in Exodus 5:1😊❤
5 After Moses 😊❤
and Aaron😊❤ went and said to Pharaoh.
” Thus say the LORD😊❤, the God😊❤ of Israel😊❤,
” Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’ ” “( Exodus 5:1 ESV Study Bible)
Again in Christ,
In Exodus 5:10b , the Phase ” … Thus says Pharoah,…”( from Exodus 5:10b ESV)
is
” In contrast to ” Thus says the LORD😊❤… “( from Exodus 5:1 middle of the verse ESV Study Bible) ” (ESV Study Bible)
” Pharaoh is both denying the power of the Lord’s words and asserting the authority of his own.”( ESV Study Bible)
We on the other hand follow God or Jesus and follow His words😊❤, the more mature we’re in Christ, the more we assert God’s words in Christ and less of ourselves in Christ. Seeing God’s words😊❤plainly can also be a blessing 😊❤ or sign of the Lord our God for maturity 😊❤ too in Christ. And sometimes we in Christ also share God’s given testimonies in Christ😊❤ too like this😊❤. In Jesus’name, i pray( 😊❤, last night forgotten to wear my glasses while sharing and Philippians 4:4😊-7😊❤
; John 1:17
” 17 For the Law was given😊❤ to Moses😊❤; grace😊❤ and truth😊❤ came 😊❤ through😊❤ Jesus Christ( Jesus😊1st❤).”( John 1:17 ESV Study Bible)
) Amen.

I also have experience everything what Jesus😊1st❤ said from Mark 10:29-31😊❤. Have you also left someone or family members and ects.. because you choose to follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤). I have/ had already in Christ. Have you too?

Micah 6:8😊❤
Daniel 12:3 😊❤
Exodus 5:15-21
“15 Then the foremen of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, ” Why do you treat your servants like this?
16 No straw is given to your servants, yet they say to us, ‘ Make bricks! ‘ And behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
17 But he said, ” You are idle, you are idle; that is why you say,
‘ Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD😊❤.’
18 Go now and work. No straw will be given you, but you must still deliver the same number of bricks.”
19 The foremen of the people of Israel saw that they were in trouble when they said, ” You shall by no means reduce your number of bricks, your daily task each day.”
20 They met Moses😊❤ and Aaron😊❤, who were waiting for them, as they came out from Pharaoh; 21and they said to them, ” The LORD😊❤ look on you and judge, because you have made us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and have put a sword in their hands to kill us.” ” ( Exodus 5:15-21 ESV Study Bible)
Today I thank God for two of following Scriptures that resonate to me in Christ at the Show are Micah 6:8😊❤ and
Daniel 12:3 😊❤
Micah 6:8
“8 He has told you, O man, what is good(😊❤); and what does the LORD😊❤ required of you,
but to do justice😊❤, and to love❤ kindness😊❤, and to walk humbly😊❤ with your God(😊10O%❤)? ” ( Micah 6:8 ESV Study Bible)
Micah 6:8( NIV)
” He😊❤
has shown you, O mortal,
what is good(😊❤ ). And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly(😊❤),
and
to love❤ mercy( 😊❤)
and
to walk❤ humbly(😊❤ ) with your( our) God(😊100%❤ )?”( Micah 6:8 NIV Amen.)
Daniel 12:3😊❤
“3 And those who are wise😊❤ shall shine❤ like brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness😊❤ , like the stars❤ forever😊❤
and ever😊❤ .”( Daniel 12:3 ESV Study Bible)
