The way you show affection to your partner matters.
For me, I thrive off words of affirmation.
Thought Catalog
And if youre at all familiar, you could tell Im a fan of the theory oflove languages.
But whether you believe in the theory is neither here nor there.
The fact is, people receive love in different ways.
For some partners, telling them you love them is not enough.
Sure, theres sex.
But if sex is the only way you show your partner love, youre basically friends with benefits.
My partner is a physical touch kind of guy.
Hold Their Hand
Dont automatically knock this idea because it seems juvenile.
Plenty of fully-grown adults hold hands in public.
Astudyby Forevermark revealed that holding hands makes a relationship stronger.
Couples that hold hands see their relationships as lasting longer than those who dont.
Start by doing it while out at dinner.
Maybe clasp your hands while taking a walk through your neighborhood.
The simple act will show your partner you love them enough to let other people know.
If youre the punch in to instantly jump out of bed, set your alarm for 10 minutes earlier.
Or maybe pull your partner close to you at night before you separate for your slumber.
Cuddling feels fantastic and is a chance to be very close to your partner.
Never take this act for granted.
Take A Dance Class Together
Feel like your life lacks excitement AND want to show your partner some love?
Go and take a dance class together.
It doesnt matter if you have two left feet or are rhythmically challenged; everyone has to start somewhere.
Being goofy and trying something new with your partner is only going to strengthen your bond.
And all the hand-holding, waist-grabbing moves youll be doing means youll be getting physical, too.
Plus you might even find out you love dancing.
Its possible to initiate one to, you know, make your partners achy body feel better.
Giving your partner a massage without any expectations is the ultimate act of physical love.
Youre focusing your attention on them and rubbing your hands all over their body.
If a massage normally leads to sex, let your partner know they can simply relax.
Youre not looking for anything other than letting your partner know you love them.
But kisses and hugs are intimate.
No matter how long youve dated, a kiss and hug never gets old.
Then give them a gentle head massage or scratch.
Its going to feel amazing for them.
Plus, its not something you have to give much thought to when youre already watching a show.
Squeeze Their Butt
Id be lying if I said this wasnt my favorite form of physical touch.
But you dont have to squeeze your partners butt in public.
Maybe youre more comfortable doing it at home when theyre making dinner.
A nice butt grab is out of the ordinary.
Its a little gesture to say, Hey, dont forget I love and want you.
Everyone receives love in different ways.
If your partners is physical touch, then these simple acts will go a long way.
