Touch More and Get More Love

Who doesn’t love to be touched? Whether it’s a friendly pat on the back or a warm hug. From a high five to a handshake it always feels good. Do not deny it, if you do not believe it why not go rub your pets and see how happy they get. Even the slightest touch makes them happy.

Cats or dogs it does not matter they both want attention equally. They will run up to you and will not leave you alone until they are done with you. They want individual HANDS on attention and they will stick their heads on your hands and nuzzle up to you just to get in a quick rub. It is kind of silly put it proves a point, touch matters.

So what do pets have to do with anything? Well if you have children you should know that they crave the touch attention just as much. While they may not be as forward, think barking/meowing or just straight up jumping onto you to get the attention they still want it. Give you kids a hug and a kiss and tell them you love them. It might seem obvious but if you do not do this enough you may actually distance yourself when all your child wants and some affection and attention on a daily basis.

How does this relate directly to a relationship though? Well that is easy you need to be touched also. Your relationship will be more solid if you get and give the kind of attention you would give to your pet. It may seem like a lot, but relationships are work but it is not hard a little attention and some pleasant touching, does not have to be dirty, will keep people together and a lot less likely to stray because they will feel wanted and loved.

In the end that is what it comes down to right? Being loved and touch is one way to convey that feeling. So do not be nervous or anxious just give a hug, or stroke their hair like you would a pet’s and you will keep yourself and your relationship happy.
