Love Language Part 5 – Physical Touch

We have long known that physical touch is a way of communicating emotional love. Research projects in the area of child development have made that conclusion: Babies who are held, hugged and kissed develop a healthier emotional life than those who are left for long periods of time without physical contact.

Holding hands, kissing, embracing, and sexual intercourse are all ways of communicating emotional love to one’s spouse.

The touch of love may take many forms. Since touch receptors are located throughout the body, lovingly touching your spouse almost anywhere can be an expression of love. That does not mean that all touches are created equal.[Tweet “Do you know how your partner likes to be touched?”]

Within every language, there are many dialects. Here below you will find just a few but in the end, you need to understand your spouse’s dialect.

  • Sexual intercourse
  • Touching
  • Caressing
  • Cuddling
  • Holding

Your best instructor is your spouse, of course. Don’t make the mistake of believing that the touch that brings pleasure to you also bring pleasure to her.

What’s your dialect?

Verbal compliments, or words of affirmation, are powerful communicators of love. They are best expressed in simple, straightforward statements of affirmation, such as:

  • “You look sharp in that suit.”
  • “Do you ever look nice in that dress! Wow!”
  • “You must be the best potato cook in the world. I love these potatoes.”
  • “I really appreciate you washing the dishes tonight.”
  • “Thanks for getting the baby-sitter lined up for tonight. I want you to know that I don’t take that for granted.”
  • “I really appreciate your taking the garbage out.”[Tweet “When have you last given your spouse a verbal compliment?”]

What would happen to the emotional climate of a marriage if the husband or the wife heard such words of affirmation regularly?

Within every language, there are many dialects. Here below you will find just a few but in the end you need to understand your spouse’s dialect. [Read more…] about Back by Popular Demand Series: Love Language Part 1 – Words of Affirmation
