      The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate is a 1992 nonfiction book by Baptist pastor Gary Chapman. It outlines five general ways that romantic partners express and experience love, which Chapman calls “love languages”. Empirical evidence does not strongly support its core claims.

      And yet it stayed on the NYT Bestsellers list for 297 weeks as of 2013.

      Anyway, I would recommend any of the Gottman’s work over Chapman if one is looking for marriage/relationship advice.
