Importance of Hugs in Marriage: Benefits
One can’t deny the benefits of hugging in marriage: When you hug your spouse, you’re communicating non-verbally. You’re transmitting eloquent and sublime messages like:
• You’re the most important person in my life and I love you;
• Whatever your problem is, I’ll be there for you every step of the way;
• You’re attractive, you light up my fire;
• I feel serene being with you, thank you for being not only a spouse but also a friend;
• I appreciate all the things you do for me;
• You and I are special; it’s you and me against the world;
• You fill me with love and faith; you make me drunk with happiness;
• I trust you;
• I accept you and everything about you: your wrinkled pajamas, your high cholesterol and your propensity for video games;
• You make me feel so young;
• I’m the luckiest person in the world because I have you.
Hugging produces positive brain waves and reduces stress and anxiety levels. It’s the most natural cure available. It’s potent, habit-forming and has side effects – positive side effects, that is.
The Canadian Oxford dictionary defines a hug as: a strong, especially affectionate clasp with the arms; to squeeze tightly with one’s arms. Don’t let your imagination run wild and think the notion of sex is found in between those lines.
“Love is not measured by how many times you touch each other, but by how many times you reach each other.” (Cathy Morancy).
