“Hold Me Long: Touch Me with Time”
People need to feel the love that others say they have for them. As children grow, it is important that they are continually shown affection in order for them to feel needed and important. The simple act of touch helps to build a stable and healthy outlook as they grow. It is important to show your partner love through affection and physical touch. Touching the ones you love tells them that you care for them. If you find yourself not wanting to touch your partner, the issue may be that you are holding some type of grudge (unforgiveness) against him or her, and you don’t want to let it go. If you extend or even receive physical contact from a person with whom you are upset for any reason, the contact speeds the process of reconciliation.

“Summary”
Touch her when you are talking. Touch him while you are walking. Touch her when she comes home. Touch her when you are happy. Take the time to touch, and then touch again. After you have touched…touch your partner some more!

”Daily Interaction”
Make this an evening of uninterrupted exercise. If you begin this exercise during lunch, make an effort to continue throughout the night. Maintain some sort of physical contact throughout the entire day. With that said, do something special, such as go to the movies, spend time at the mall or walk around the neighborhood. If you are spending time at home, eat dinner on the couch side by side. If you are doing work at home, lay in the bed together and cross one of your legs over his or hers. The point is to touch your partner and allow your partner to touch you. Watch yourselves grow closer through this continued and purposed force of touch.
