Do you play with your husband? I'm talking about the willingness to be close physically, to touch, tickle, kiss, hug, and generally be physically intimate with him (I'm not necessarily talking about sex, but it would include sex). I've seen a number of wives who withdraw physically. They don't seem to want to be touched, don't want their hair messed up, etc. The lack of overall touch starves the relationship.
Men typically are fairly physical. Physical touch means something to them and being able to be close physically generally equals intimacy for a man. So snuggle up and get close, often.
Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person. Author Unknown

Hi Jenn, this reminds me of the story that Debi Pearl tells in her book, "Created to be His Help Meet." Remember the one where her and Michael were sitting around a table with several other pastors and wives and the one hubby put his arm around his wife, and she shook him off for fear of messing up her hair. I remember, Debi saying that that woman had 'everyone' in the room's attention, not in a good way. Her point of course was to not refuse our husbands overtures, regardless of how clumsy. :) Great post Jenn! :)
