Craving Intimacy.

Physical touch may not be YOUR love language, but it may be someone you love, way of feeling loved.

I crave intimacy. Every opportunity to squeeze in a hug, kiss, & touch, I’m all over it. Physical touch & quality time are my love languages. As a child, I hated to be touched. We didn’t do a lot of hugging & kissing in my family. As an adult, being shown love differently, my love language shifted. My husband’s love language is definitely not physical touch, but as we’ve both grown in our marriage, he knows how to make me feel special & understand the importance of doing so. 

Intimacy isn’t always sexual & doesn’t always have to lead to that. It’s important to communicate that because sometimes it can feel like you’re being used when you’re only being touched in bed & not shown any physical touch just to show you’re loved. For us, we’ve made it known that touch in itself, expresses intimacy. It’s needed for the both of us. Those spontaneous kisses & hugs from behind while cooking. Give me all of that! 😩😍 If y’all know us personally y’all know we play all day. Lol 

It’s important that we set the tone in our household when it comes to affection. Harlem sees us kissing & always wants one from the both of us. This boy will go back & forth until he gets the most kisses. Every time he sees us hug, he runs right up to us & hugs our legs. The girls wake up & always hug us & tell us how much they love us. We make it a priority to let them know its okay to be affectionate in our home.

Physical touch may not be YOUR love language, but it may be someone you love, way of feeling loved. Don’t deprive them of it because you didn’t grow up in an intimate home. Learn to connect & initiate through a hug or kiss. Trust me, it will lead to a happier home & marriage. Your babies will one day thank you for displaying love in that way as they grow up & start their own family. Now go show some love.💛
