as the saying goes, even if you dont know the right words to say, just show it in your actions. you just have to act what you mean or to show how much you love a person. but how about this lines from a popular song.
its only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away
talk in everlasting words
and dedicate them all to me
and i will give you all my life
im here if you should call to me
you think that i dont even mean
a single word i say
how about you guys? whats your opinion on these? whats more important action or words?

isn't speaking a type of action~ _o
haha, but sure, a speechless relationship could surely survive if both persons love each other dearly and are willing to show it through actions.
saying sugar-coated words don't always show your love. you have to say it like you mean it.. thats it i guess..

sometimes its better to say it aloud. but how about those who have difficulty in expressing himself in words, then action can be better.
thanks

I can give you one instance which happened in my life , when i was in my 12th grade as usual our physcics teacher was taking class , we told him to give a break for us , he dint give any reaction and he kept his hands over his face and commanded us to touch our cheeks , we all saw him and touched our chins , you know why i was confused and my hand went all way towards chins because our phsyics teacher was having his hand on the chin :) he said Actions speaks louder than words , we all know where is chin and cheeks because he touched our hands went immdiately towards chin :)
from this actions have more impressions i can say

hey that's a fine example you quoted.. by the by not always action can do the trick for you.. i had this friend who was in love with a girl next door.. everyday he would place himself in front of her school gates morning and evening so that she will take notice of him as she comes and goes.... but he didn't have the actual courage to go up to her and tell her straight that he fancied her.. well at last he asked one of his friends to help him by acting as his messenger.. you wouldn't believe my friends horror when the other guy went up to the girl and proposed to her and made her his own girlfriend... he said some pretty nice words and the girl fell for him even though she knew my friend always came there to see her...she said to him that she was always hoping to hear something nice from my friend but it never came... so i guess only action and no words would get you at the end of your bargain...

Well, I also believe that action speaks louder than words but of course words are also important.. I prefer the both ways, I don't go for only one way because sometimes when we do some actions it gives meaning to others.. So, to be sure with all of our actions you need also to say it in words so that proper meaning and understanding will occur.. Isn't it nice to hear to someone you love saying "i love you" to you and at the same when he is showing his love?? Well, for me I go for actions and words since I know that I am not guessing what the person is trying show.. 
I just hate guessing especially when it comes to feeling..

yes, sometimes you have to say what you really mean because there are other people who are naturally sweet to all persons and the other person will have a misinterpretation in the action.

Yes, I agree.. There are really some people are just very sweet person.. Sometimes, because of there being sweet we somehow makes the sweetness into another meaning and when we found out that we are wrong with what we think the more we get hurt.. So, it is really good if both action and words will go together so that we won't keep on guessing... Anyway, thanks for choosing me as best response..

I think both words actions and words are essential in almost everything we do. Because sometimes, no matter how hard you try to show your intentions through actions, some people are just too dumb to see and realize it. The point is, you still need to "say what you mean" and "mean what you say".

Its' a lovely song. Actions do speak loucer than words, but let's not forget the imporance of words. There are time you where distances become a barrier,then words play an important role. Sometimes actions are misunderstood if it is by itself and accompanied by words.

I guess I'd like it to be both... show to your love one that you love and care for her/him and it was also so sweet if you'll hear it coming from her/him.

words can be nice but some people will say anything. i'd rather be shown by actions that people are sincere. don't want to hear any bull, honesty is very important to me.
