Creative Touch

Creative Touch

Kiss me and kiss me again, for your love is sweeter than wine.

Song Of Solomon 1:2

LOVE TOUCHES may be extended or brief. A back rub takes time, but putting your hand on your spouse’s shoulder as you pour a cup of coffee takes only a moment. Sitting close to each other on the couch as you watch your favorite television program requires no additional time, but it may loudly communicate your love.

Touching your spouse as you walk through the room where he is sitting takes only a second. Touching each other as you leave the house and again when you return may involve only a brief kiss or hug, but it may speak volumes to your spouse.

If you discover that physical touch is your spouse’s primary love language, coming up with new ways and places to touch can be an exciting challenge. You may find that you can fill your spouse’s emotional love tank as you stroll across the parking lot, simply by holding hands. A kiss after you get in the car might make the drive home much shorter. The Song of Solomon is a description of a husband and wife taking joy in touching each other. It can be inspiring reading if you’re trying to think of new ways to express love to your spouse through physical touch.

Dear Lord, help me to be generous with my time and touches. I want to express my love to my spouse in more and creative ways.
