234. Touch Me Like You Know Me Jun 26, 2024

Show notes

We're jumping into the love language of physical touch. From holding hands and sharing hugs to intimate gestures like kissing and back rubs, we'll uncover the powerful impact of physical touch in marriage.

We'll discuss the importance of learning how your spouse wants to be touched. Too often, we turn to books, other couples, or general advice, neglecting the one person who knows best: our spouse. Insisting on touching your spouse the way you want, instead of how they desire, can be more than just irritating—it's dishonoring!

We'll also talk about the significance of physical touch during times of crisis or emotional turmoil. A simple touch can serve as a healing balm for a wounded heart, offering comfort and reassurance.

Join us as we navigate the nuances of physical touch, ensuring we honor our spouses by loving them the way they want to be loved.
