Don't Forget the Power of Touch

Never belittle the power of touch in a marriage relationship.

When a child is ill, doctors will tell you that it is proven that a simple, loving touch of a parent can quickly pull the child through a crisis.  It is the same for relationships. 

Playing with your mate’s hair, rubbing their hand, a soft kiss on the neck, a soft pat on the leg or giving a gentle back rub will make a huge difference in how your mate responds to you. 

Ask yourself this. When was the last time you walked up to your mate for no reason and without saying a word, affectionately placed a kiss on their neck?  This is not in a sexual way, but an affectionate way.  There is a difference. 

The next time the two of you are sitting in the car, at the grocery story, or standing in line at the theater, quietly reach over and take their hand.  Do not be surprised if you get a strange look of curiosity the first time!

The Power of Touch Works on improving marriage relationships.
