This is my first reflection/set of questions that I will be answering. The first section was about learning to touch your spouse more and appreciating the power of touch. Studies have shown that touch makes the quality of life better in various ways.
1. How did your parents and family show affection? Do you like or dislike the kind of physical affection you grew up with? In my house it was just me and my mom. We tended to show our affection by a hug or kiss on the cheek before school and the same before bed. When I was younger I can remember cuddling up on the couch with my mom was one of my favorite things. Cuddling is definitely something I have always loved to do the most.
2. What kind of touch do you like the most? Pretty much any type of cuddling or long hugs.
3. When do you like to be touched? When do you not like to be touched? Most of the time I loved to be touched, the only time I don't like being touched is when my anxiety is really bad or I am very angry about something (the anger is pretty rare though).
4. How can you greet each other more affectionately at the end of the day? Nate (my fiance) is pretty good about giving me a hug or kiss when I first walk in the door. I'm not so good at this, tending to neglect the greeting when I get home from work. Normally I have other things on my mind. This is something I definitely need to work on!
5. I like to be kissed... Passionately, meaningfully, or playfully depending on my mood. Kisses are probably the best when I least expect them for me.
6. I like to be hugged... Pretty much anytime. Lay the hugs on me!
7. How can you incorporate more touch into your life? Sometimes I back away from being touched or am too distracted to realize when Nate wants to hug, cuddle, and kiss. We don't see each other for very long because of how busy we are, so I have a lot I want to talk about and do. Touch often gets pushed to the side.
