Love isn't only about words. It's about this...

Love isn't just about what you say, but what you do. Because communicating orally is something we can't escape from, our actions should serve to reinforce our words.

Sure, everyone likes to hear an "I love you" thrown their way every so often.

But what good is uttering such words when they're not backed up with substantive action? It's those concrete actions that really give the words meaning.

Far too often, people rely solely on words to placate their partner or get themselves out of arguments.

More likely than not, what leads to those arguments is an absence of action -- one or both partners failing to live up to something they said they would do.

If love were based only on words, people would get away with lying and promising things without intending to deliver in earnest.

It's no wonder relationships start to go downhill when someone is caught in a lie, let alone repeatedly.

If you don't trust your partner -- if you don't feel confident that he or she will be there for you when it counts the most -- the relationship is doomed to failure.

Trust, communication, and actions in support of words -- however heartfelt and genuine those words may seem -- are the lifeblood of a relationship.

It should be everyone's goal to find a partner who they know will follow through on their words and promises. It's my hope that you've already found that person. If not, don't despair -- he or she is out there!

Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to tell whether someone is a man or woman of their word upon first meeting them.

Everyone tries to put their best foot forward during the so-called honeymoon phase, making character flaws difficult to pick up on.

If you later discover that the person isn't who you thought they were, it's best to end the relationship and find someone who will respect you enough to deliver on their words.

Sweet talkers are great. But it's those who consistently back up words with action that are true keepers. Indeed, empty words and false promises do nothing but hasten the demise of the relationship.

And while actions may speak louder than words, a successful relationship requires that both work in tandem.

Have you ever broken up with someone because he or she failed to honor their promises?

Women vs. Men: Who likes to backstab more?

Whether it's on TV or in the workplace, the general consensus seems to be that women gossip, backstab, and stir up more conflict than men do. But, as with every other topic, I thought it only fair to put this so-called stereotype under the microscope. If you watch reality shows like Celebrity Apprentice, you'll notice it's the women who spend far more time bickering. While the men do at times become embroiled in tit for tat, it's the women who are portrayed as meaner and more hostile. In the workplace, I have noticed that women seem to gossip far more than their male counterparts. I haven't really seen any cases where a person blatantly backstabs the other, but I have caught both men and women in little white lies. If it is true that women are generally more into backstabbing and gossiping than men, why is this the case? I believe that it isn't fair to make a blanket statement like "all women play these games while all men keep to themselves and pre...

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it?  After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

Men prefer to marry brunettes

Study after study shows that men prefer blondes as girlfriends or mistresses and brunettes as wives . It seems many men see brunettes as more trustworthy and loyal. What's more, even though participants claimed that blondes are better in bed, they feel brunettes are better kissers and more affectionate than blondes. I find these results to be rather interesting. In my high school and early college days, I actually had a preference for blondes myself -- that is, until I hooked up with my now-wife. From that point on, I deemed brunettes as more attractive and marriage material, probably because they reminded me of and more closely resembled her. I think we can blame Hollywood, shows like Baywatch, and Playboy for painting blondes as wild, big chested, promiscuous and loose. (Yes, I know that there are brunettes in Playboy, but they seem to be in the minority.) When someone tells a man to think of an attractive blonde, who do you think likely crosses his mind? More likely than...
