Language is an important part of how most humans bond. The amount and content of the language varies from person to person, as do their preferences for various aspects of communication. There are very few humans who can feel close to another person with no communication (and language is our most easily-identifiable and possibly our most important method of communication. Notably, even groups of humans previously thought to communicate very little--like nonverbal autistic people, for instance--communicate a significant amount, even when it is nonverbal. But most humans communicate verbally in addition to other ways.
