DR. CHAPMAN'S BIO?
Dr. Gary Chapman was born on January 10, 1938 in China Grove, North Carolina.

Dr. Chapman is a graduate of the Moody Bible Institute and holds a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Master
of Arts (M.A.) degree in anthropology from Wheaton College and from Wake Forest University. He also
received a Master of Religious Education (M.R.E.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in adult education
from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

He joined the staff of Calvary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1971 and shares the
responsibilities of teaching and family care.

The first of many books promoting the above concept was The Five Love Languages: How to Express
Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate, first published in 1992. The book has sold over 11 million copies in
English; having been translated into 49 other languages and the 2015 edition consistently ranks in the
top 100 sellers on Amazon.com, ranking in the top 50 as of February, 2007. It also consistently ranks in
the top 5 books on the New York Times bestsellers list, claiming the #1 spot at times.

He is perhaps best known for his concept of "Five Love Languages", helping people express and
receive love as expressed through one of five languages: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving
gifts, acts of service, or physical touch. Chapman argues that while each of these languages is enjoyed
to some degree by all people, a person will usually speak one primary language, but all are important
and can be ranked after taking the love language profile. He has also authored the Five Love Language
concept books for parents of children and teenagers, single adults, and a special version for men. He
has co-authored The Five Languages of Apology with Dr. Jennifer Thomas, which focuses on giving
and receiving apologies. Additionally, Chapman co-authored The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the
Workplace with Dr. Paul White, applying the concepts to work-based relationships. Chapman travels
the world presenting seminars on marriage, family, and relationships, and his radio programs air on
more than 400 stations.

He is married to Karolyn J. Chapman. They have two adult children, Shelley and Derek.
