"I LOVE YOU"... do you prefer in words or in actions?

I feel loved by my husband through actions. He does tell me he loves me, but anyone can say that. The way he looks at me, cares for me, everything he does for me. That's how I know he truly loves me. Actions always speak louder than words !!!

I love to be told "I love you" from my boyfriend, but I feel like sometimes the phrase is over used so it doesnt mean as much.. so when you say it's just like "yeah I love you...", "I love you too" and we don't really think about the words. I think actions are SO important... little surprises all the time are lovely, and they reinforce the words. So, I think both words and actions are important if you love someone, and that one without the other is meaningless. xx

Both. I want to hear the words and I appreciate seeing the actions too. Because I'm that way, I assume others are too. My hubby tells me he loves me, but when he does things like changes the oil in my truck for me, I appreciate seeing those feelings in action.

i think im an action person.. but i do express my love through words too... but of course i prefer to be love and to love through actions.

In my opinion, "I love you" is a phrase that is often over used. And because it is often over used it loses it's meaning. I love to hear my husband whisper sweet nothings in my ear, but it means nothing unless he is able to prove it with his actions.

If not both, I'd rather choose "actions". What are the words for if the action of loving is not there. It is really much easier to say things than to perform, right? Would you wanna hear the words "I love you" each and every day but not feel the sincerity of such? Well, I guess not.

I think that I would rather have the actions than the words. A person can say "I love you" hundreds of times over and never do a single thing to show it.. and that wouldn't do too much for my heart, I have to admit. I would hate to never, ever hear the words - but if it came right down to a choice between never hearing it again and having someone show me that they loved me every single day, or someone saying it every day but not doing a single thing to show it, there would be absolutely no contest as to which one I would choose. I also would like to endeavour to always show the person that I love, that I love them, every day. That would be easier for me than saying it, as the words have never come easy to me because I'm shy and my family has also never been the type to say I love you.

I like both. I like to be told I'm loved and i like to be shown I'm loved. If you wanna be with me you will know how to do this. I also give my love back. in many many ways. I say "I love you" everyday. I show the person i love them as much as possible. So yeah both for me.

Well, I don't know about "I love you" but I want to hear that people appreciate it when I do something. I am NO cook, so I've got a job where I'm fixing a meal for a lady twice a day. Now, if I just open a can, I don't think she needs to tell me I did a good job, but if I actually COOK something, I want to know I did all right. I need to know if I messed it up badly (like the gravy) or I did pretty good, like my first go at pancakes (they were a little black, but it was my first time, and they weren't BURNT.) Actually, she likes somethings a little burnt so I guess I could get away with it. Heck, I've dodged cooking for 50 odd years, not bad.

I personally would rather have someone prove they love me through their actions. Anyone can blurt out the words and not mean them. If their actions are speaking as well then I know it is true. I do both.

While actions are important, I find it an important part to tell and to be told that love is still strong. In a relationship the way you behave love is felt. However, being told "I love you" ever once in a while does make a lot of difference. It keeps the relationship renewed.

i prefer in action rather than in words .howerver every one needs to be heard with partner that word but again i think its better in action

i will not feel safe until i hear those words,action works to me,but still,i need those words.

im more on a "action person".,I love being pampered and I love the one I love do the same..

I prefer both. I love it when he holds me in his arms and whispers I love you or he brings me something or does something special for me. I can't choose just one way because I prefer both.

i would like to be as expressive as possible.i would say i am both the word and he action kind of guy.it all depends on the time and the situation.i tend to be at my best telling the person how much i love her and what a lot she meansto me.there is nothing better in telling it directly but at times i think it is great to be expressive and showing them by ations that we care.our body language towards them will help them get the message what we are trying to reveal.but i feel a cobination of both is really essential for any type of relationship.

I think if the person means what they're saying than the words are just as powerful as the action. When you think of it, saying I love you is an action. You have to speak to say it, and speaking is acting. It all depends on what the person expressing it is more comfortable doing. If a person easily expresses themselves through actions but has a hard time verbally expressing, than if they say I love you, it would mean more, to me atleast. I do have to admit, I tend to lean toward the action side. You can say something all you want, but if you don't show it somehow, your words carry no weight.

Hey ! I personally think that in love we need to learn to feel and express ourselves both in words and actions .. `cause there are moments when nothing can make you feel better than hearing those peacefull words "I love you " said from the bottom of the heart .. but yet .. we also often need a warm hug .. a sweet kiss .. with no reason .. just because .. And lets don`t forget .. actions are needed in order to keep love alive .. `cause if not .. sometimes "I love you" can get to mean .. "Good bye" ..

When I first met my bf now my hubby, I didnt like him at once. But he showed me that he really care and love me by fetching me from home and accompany in job hunting at that time. He was always around to show that he really support in whatever I do and care for what I do. When I got the job, he would fetch me at the house and send me off to my work, after office work, he was there to fetch me again and bring me home. That was how I was developed to love him. He is not a man of words but a man of action. He can't say the word " I love You" face to face but he says it through letters and cards and by his actions. I am not also a woman of words, but a woman of action, that's why I guess my hubby and I compliment each other. I say "I love you" through messages (cards,SMS, IM-YM, emails) and show my love on how I treat him, care for him. Importantly, it is not how often you tell "I love You", it is how sincere you are and saying it coming from your heart when you say it; and it should be shown together with actions. I think that is the best way to show how you love someone.

I'm for the words coz i think words can express more than actions.words can reveal the true gesture of the person and then there is no hide n seek game.
