Successful Relationships

Yes

Affection is an ebb and flow between two people, where each individual is giving and receiving a certain amount of contact and interaction at all times. Whether it is through a hug, kiss or just a phone call, affection is the way we show others in our lives how important they are in the world.

If affection is lacking in your marriage, don't ignore it. It is a real human need, and if you let it go, someone else may come along who will offer to fill the gap, leaving you or your husband in a vulnerable place. Protect your marriage by making sure both of you feel your needs are being met.

Your marriage is a book your kids will read one day.
