The importance of words

SarahSG88 December 12th, 2017

Its only words, and words are all I have , to take your heart again...! Humming this song and was wondering how much words matter ?? I have heard someone say " If you love me, I need to be TOLD that you love me " . Some people are not great at expressing verbally - so even there do words matter ? If so, how much ? What do you think?

I believe it depends on the person. Different people like different things. Person A may prefer a post-it reading 'I love you' on the fridge and person B may prefer having their partner prepare them a lunchbox to take to work.

There's an interesting theory related to this topic, the theory of the Five Love Languages, by Gary Chapman. I do not agree fully with all it says, but I like that it speculates with a variety of possibilities for individual preferences on the expression of love.

I guess words are important in a way for the person to get the confirmation that you like her/him.
