TOUCH IS POWERFUL

We are very social beings. We need to hear other human voices. We need to experience physical touch from other human beings. Social groups that share more physical touch feel closer emotionally and feel generally more secure. Lets bring this closer to home. To maintain a feeling of connection and intimacy, our personal relationships need to feel physical touch from us. Do you touch your children everyday? How about your teenagers? It's easy to go for days without having had physical contact with our teenage children. It's also dangerous. How about your spouse, when was the last time you touched them? Take just a few moments everyday to physically touch the people with whom you have a close personal relationship. It helps maintain that emotional security we all need and will help prevent a drifting apart in a relationship.  Touch is powerful. It's presence enhances our relationships. It's absence threatens our relationships.
