:-) I trust everyone had a nice night. If you or your spouse's love language is physical touch, physical contact is high on the list of wants/needs to feel closeness, intimacy, and of course love. From the 5 Love Languages:
"This language isn’t all about the bedroom. A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive."
One thing I will say about the quote above: Sometimes, people who have physical touch as one of their love languages are not "very touchy." Physical touch may convey to them all of the positive feelings and emotions above and they may greatly enjoy, respond to, and desire physical touch, but they still may not be "very touchy" themselves. Keep this in mind when considering your spouse in particular. We will be learning more about the 5 Love Languages in the upcoming weeks!
For today's challenge, call your spouse and ask them if there is anything that you can do to make their day a little easier. And don't just ask, but offer to do it. "Would you like me to...?" "Can I help by...?" Sometimes asking if there is anything you can do doesn't mean as much as offering specifics. The latter shows that you put some thought into how you could truly help to improve their day!
