Do you touch your partner more than once a day? Did you know when you touch someone you are connecting with them? You hear me talk a lot about the importance of giving hugs and kisses to your spouse but just walking by and briefly touching them with your hand or body in a nonsexual way will keep the two of you connected also.

Did you know touching can speak louder than words? Touching can say “I love you” without saying it. It can show a profound interest in the other. When you ask “How was your day” and your spouse says “Fine” touch their hand or arm and nod. You are letting them know you want to hear more and care about them. Everyone wants to know someone cares about them.

Touch can also reduce anxiety, tension and pain. It can lower your heart rate, drop your blood pressure and it can speed recovery when you are ill. The statement “The healing power of touch” is so true.

I have an assignment for you to try. On the first day go about your day but try to see how many times you normally touch each other. On the second day try to increase your touch by three and then increase it until you have and additional five or more each day.

By touching, hugging and kissing each day you will be connected in a way most couples aren’t. You will feel closer to each other and your partner will feel loved by you. If your partner has trouble doing this, let them know when you need a hug, kiss or just a touch. Slowly but surely they will become comfortable with this beautiful act of nonverbal love.

Keep those sparks flying!
