Episode Details

Physical touch is such a powerful and amazing gift from God. He designed us for it. We need it. And it is physically, spiritual and emotionally damaging when we avoid it or do not get enough of it. In this episode, we discuss why Physical touch is so important and we give some practical tips on how to touch and be touched more.

• Embracing each other says “I trust you and need you in my life.”
• A comforting hug says, “I’m here for you.”
• A kiss says, “You are mine! And I love you!”
• Holding hands lets your spouse know you like them and like spending time with them.
• Tickle rubs, massages, running your fingers through their hair says, “I want to make you feel good.” ...And most times lets them know you desire more physical touch.

Being married and living in that sacred space of physical closeness, embrace, touch...there is no other relationship like it on Earth. Make the time to send those messages of love to your spouse through touch.
