Growing up in my church, The Five Love Languages was mandatory reading. I still think it's a good concept but yeah the gender dynamics in the edition I read were extremely conservative.

I'm not a high enough patreon supporter to vote on new eps but I wish they'd cover Think and Grow Rich. It's from 1937, sold 20 million copies, and is basically the grandfather of the "you're poor because you aren't braining correctly" genre.
