relationship. For whatever reason, men are known as having difficulties

man going.

whole.

1. Give Him a Playful Nudge
So what if you’re not fifteen anymore? You can still horse around and
chances are high your man will love to see your playful side. When
something is funny, lean in and give him a playful nudge. Keep eye
contact, keep laughing, and keep nudging until he returns contact. Just
make sure you’re gentle with that first shove. You don’t want to bruise
his arm (or his ego).
2. Hold Hands
2. Hold Hands
When you’re walking side-by-side with your husband, make a point to
hold hands. Whether you’re walking barefoot in the sand or walking in
canvas sneakers to the car, grab his hand and hold it tight. Once you’ve
got his hand, try pulling it to your lips and placing a gentle kiss
where your fingers meet. Holding hands is a progressive gesture, so
don’t be afraid to pull his arm over your shoulders, moving from just
hand holding to a tight embrace.
3. Touch His Face
3. Touch His Face
While maintaining eye-contact, gently touch your man’s cheek. This
romantic gesture will make him feel attractive, loved, and appreciated.
It’s simple, but it works. You can gently run your fingers through his
hair, before sliding them down the side of his face. It’s almost
guaranteed this gesture will end with him kissing you, but if he misses
the hint, don’t be afraid to be the one to lean in.
4. Rub His Back

Nothing says, “I appreciate you,” like a firm backrub. If he’s a dad,
you may want to get a book on massage, as it should contain some ideas for Father’s day
backrubs. Dads deserve a break and a massage is the perfect way to
thank him for all the good he does, plus it’s an excuse to get his shirt
off. When it’s not a special occasion, simply rubbing your fingers down
his spine is a great way to be affectionate.
5. Cuddle Often
5. Cuddle Often
Cuddling
is very romantic. With hectic schedules, cuddling is sometimes
overlooked. Because it promotes the chemical oxytocin, cuddling is
therapeutic and a stress reliever. Cuddling is mutually affectionate, so
practice it often to relieve stress and even improve communication.
While cuddling, you’re non-verbally expressing love and understanding.
Cuddling also makes couples feel sexy and promotes bonding. This simple
gesture can lead to a more enriching relationship, so why not try it
tonight?
