"Love languages – the concept coined by Baptist pastor Gary Chapman some 30
years ago – has taken the relationships world by storm. It’s often the “go-to”
topic on first dates, and for those in relationships love languages are said to
provide deep, meaningful and reliable insights into how relationships function.
Putting love languages into action is believed to increase relationship
happiness.
The concept clearly has appeal. At last count, 20 million copies have been sold
worldwide of Chapman’s 1992 book
The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love
that Lasts. The book has been translated into 49 languages.
There is only one catch. There is little evidence to support the idea that love
languages are “a thing”, or that love languages do much of anything to help
improve relationships."
