THE POWER OF PHYSICAL INTIMACY

1. Physical intimacy is different from sexual intimacy. Physical intimacy is when two people who love each other show affection by their bodies being close

2. Physical intimacy is hugging, leaning on each other, cuddling, holding hands, laughing as you collide, walking together as your bodies bump on each other, sitting on his lap, rubbing the back, rubbing hands as you two talk

3. Physical intimacy makes you both feel safe, welcomed and invited

4. Physical intimacy is threatened when there is emotional or physical abuse

5. Physical intimacy doesn't necessarily have to lead to sexual intimacy. Learn to be close with each other even when sex is not the agenda

6. Physical intimacy is a sign of friendship in marriage 

7. A lot of couples were physically intimate during dating and courtship and stop it in marriage due to familiarity and unresolved issues leading to a dry marriage

8. Sadly, married people who have affairs are physically intimate with the one they are cheating with than their spouse. This makes the affair seem exciting. No, it is because where physical intimacy is, warmth and excitement will be

9. Public display of affection is sweet, it is an expression of physical intimacy communicating you are proud of and close with the one you are with; but private display of affection in physical intimacy is sweeter

10. Children who observe their parents physically intimate feel joy, excitement and a sense of warmth at home

11. Physical intimacy can lead to great conversations

12. Couples that protected their physical intimacy enjoy it the most in old age when they are weak and retired. Something about being touched makes you feel at home

13. People who are rigid and guarded with walls around them tend to repel physical intimacy. Put down your guard, allow your spouse to love you

14. Express physical intimacy when you part ways to go to work or leave to attend to issues and when you reconnect back at home 

When was the last time you hugged your spouse?
