Ever wondered what is louder than shouted words? In today's episode, aptly titled "Louder Than Words," we explore the silent yet powerful language of actions in relationships.

Dan's shares the power of watching what someone does and not hearing what they say to draw conclusions about who they really are. 

Also, I share personal anecdotes about the small yet meaningful gestures I make to show love and commitment to my wife, like opening doors and crafting handwritten letters habits that started in our courship. These actions, filled with humor and warmth, underscore the importance of ensuring our deeds align with our words.
