Give your spouse one embrace today that lasts longer than usual, until you both soften.
A hug held past the polite second. Long enough for the shoulders to drop.
Offer your spouse warm touch today with nothing asked in return.
A hand on the shoulder, a passing squeeze. Contact that is only kindness, not a request.
Touch them once today with nothing else attached.
A hand on the shoulder as you pass. Sitting close on the sofa. Reaching for their hand while you talk about nothing. No agenda, no next step. Just…
Hold their hand while you talk about something completely ordinary.
Touch with no request attached is a language of safety all its own.
Make them laugh once today, on purpose.
Shared lightness is not frivolous; it is a thread that keeps two people close.
Kiss, hold, and touch each other daily, at partings, reunions, and before bed. Learn the touch your partner likes.
Affection is not only for special moments. Small, regular touch keeps warmth and closeness alive.
Do one small, slightly ridiculous thing together.
A shared bit of play refreshes a couple more than another serious conversation can.
There is more about your marriage than the practices: the your marriage area has the themes and the courses too.
