> Chapman also said that he’s never been dogmatic about there being only five love languages — it’s just that these five categories are the best way to group the innumerable expressions of love that people can show. Over the years, people have suggested other love languages to him, but they invariably fall within one of the languages. Lastly, Chapman noted that he’s never said that people who respond best to the same languages will necessarily have stronger relationships. It’s all about showing love to your partner in the way that speaks most to them. If your partner is speaking to you in a language you don't hear or care much about, you won't enjoy their affection. If the way you express yourself annoys the crap out of them, likewise for them. May not have a satisfied relationship if the languages match, but it can't hurt.
