➡️ This is Day 2 of the 5 Day Love Language Challenge
Todays Challenge is Physical Touch
A hand on a shoulder, a kiss on the forehead, or a tender hug after a long day can help you feel less lonely and more connected in a matter of moments. Heart rates tend to go down, tension releases and people just feel reminded that they are not alone in the world.
Your assignment is to initiate physical touch with your partner. It's important that you make sure your advance is welcome, so choose something you both are already in the regular habit of doing, or ask your partner if they'd like to connect in a new way.
Here are some examples:
Hold your regular hug a little longer than usual.
Rest your head on your partner's shoulder while watching a show.
Hold hands.
Kiss your partner's head.
Rest your feet on your partner's lap while reading or working.
Offer a back or foot massage.
Cuddle in bed.
This challenge is based on the research of Dr. John Gottman as well as Gary Chapman's book, The Five Love Languages, and my book, Love Is an Action Verb.
Healthy relationships are not built with conflict resolution skills or shared interests or hobbies, they thrive from solid friendships and treating each other lovingly. I kid you not, it is way simpler than it seems.
