Dr Gary Chapman

Gary Chapman, born in a small town in North Carolina, USA, has become widely known for his work in the realm of relationships, particularly in marriage and family counselling. He has written more than forty books with The 5 Love Languages, one of his most popular titles, topping various bestseller charts for years. He also hosts radio programmes A Love Language Minute and Building Relationships with Dr. Gary Chapman.

Chapman's journey into Christian ministry began at the age of seventeen when he committed himself to serving Christ. He attended counselling courses, realising only later how significant they would become; the past thirty have seen a focus for Gary on marriage and family counselling. Gary holds Bachelors and Masters degrees in anthropology and received his PhD from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Gary and his wife, Karolyn, have been married for over 60 years and reside in Salem, North Carolina, where she edits all his books. They have two grown-up children.
