If asked what is one of the things that is important to me in my marriage, I'd say our morning goodbyes and evening hellos. It is very rare that we don't kiss eachother goodbye and hug in the morning and again at night when we get home from work.
Some people might say that makes the greetings a meaningless habit, but my husband and I have found the reverse to be true. It would break my heart if something happened to Jim, and I had not taken the time to give him that ritual kiss and momentary acknowledgement of our love.
I believe in the power of the physical touch. I believe that in their deepest hearts, even those who say they don't like physical affection, desire it. A person can have a good life without a lot of physical affection but I believe we are made for it from the instant we are born. Why we think our babies should sleep alone, I cannot fathom.
