Express Love through Physical Touch
Did you know that babies who are caressed, held and kissed go on to lead healthier emotional lives than those who aren't? It's true, and it should come as no surprise that physical touch is some people's primary love language.
If it's your partner's main language you can communicate your love through physical touch – things like holding hands, kissing, embracing and sexual intercourse. It's easy to incorporate such gestures into everyday life by holding your partner's hand when in church or on your way to the movies. You can also try hugging and kissing your partner when someone else is around; it's sure to make them feel extra appreciated.
For instance, Jocelyn Green is married to a military man. Although she and her partner often can't be together physically, she's found ways to feel connected to him while he's overseas. If you and your partner also spend a lot of time away from one another, try to find a way to feel close. Things like wearing one of your partner's old shirts while skyping, or sending them a picture, can work wonders.
But when you are with your partner, you can try touching him or her in unexplored places and asking for feedback about what's pleasurable. Just remember, your partner is the only one who can say what feels good to them. In fact, it's key for both people in a relationship to take the time to learn how to touch and please each other. If you're looking for creative ways to do so you might find it helpful to study massage or read up on sexual techniques.
It's also essential to work hard at understanding which subtler forms of physical contact can fill your partner's love tank. Vary the pressure of touch. Experiment! And of course, when it comes to touch, what's appropriate and inappropriate can only be determined by you and your partner. That being said, physical abuse is always inappropriate and should be reported immediately.
