He argues that all five are important, but that they can be individually ranked (after answering the love language profile questions he designed for this purpose).

Scientific criticism

Chapman's model was based on his reported experience as a pastor advising couples, rather than grounded in any known scientific principles.^[7] There have been several research studies trying to evaluate Chapman's love languages framework, with mixed results. A study provided some evidence in favor of the love languages framework, while summarizing past empirical support for it as "equivocal."^[8] A recent article emphasized "a paucity of empirical work" and criticized the invalidity of the construct in several dimensions.^[9][10]
