\"Relationship<\/a>

Bergman and Bogart in Casablanca<\/p><\/div>\n

“A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.” Ingrid Bergman<\/a><\/h2>\n

In relationships, actions usually speak much louder than words. Communications researcher Albert Mehrabian has famously suggested that in our efforts to understand the feelings and attitudes associated with a communication, we are 55% dependent on facial expression, 38% dependent on tone, and only 7% dependent on words. He somehow neglected to include the information that’s contained in a kiss, a communication form all to itself. More powerful than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. You could never describe it to a non-human alien… “Well, two people put their faces real close, then they shape their lips in some kind of way so that…. oh, never mind.” It’s like trying to tell a stranger about rock and roll. But it does somehow convey to each partner the whole story of their life together. That quick. Uh, huh. Got it.<\/p>\n
