The cover of Speaking from the Heart: 18 Languages for Modern Love in paperback, written by Anne Hodder-Shipp, CSE
A graphic that states “The Modern Love Intensive” with a computer displaying the 18 modern love languages.

Languages for Modern Love offers an expansive alternative to the popular relational theory that recognizes love is experienced in and important for ALL relationships — not just romantic ones.

And there’s FAR more than five ways to express it.

Understanding how we do (and don't) express and receive love can be a foundational part of our most nourishing relationships. Rejecting relationship hierarchy and centering platonic love, the Languages for Modern Love approach gives readers tangible tools for identifying their needs while navigating others', and does so with a friendly and compassionate attitude.

Speaking from the Heart: 18 Languages for Modern Love and The Speaking from the Heart Workbook make it easy to learn about and explore the Languages for Modern Love and identify which ones feel most important you — and which ones don’t.

A graphic showing that The Speaking from the Heart workbook was heard on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast with Glennon Doyle, episode 151 “WTF with the Five Love Languages?”
