Holding hands is important

We tell you why one shouldn't undermine the importance of physical affection in a relationship

When one is in a new relationship, it is a new beginning for both the partners as they begin to learn more about each other. And showing affection for one another is a great and fun way to reassure how much you cherish the person. A kiss means so much more as it marks the blossoming of a romantic relationship and has a special significance from a woman's perspective because it helps feel connected to their man.

Going by typical masculine and feminine behaviours, it is observed that women see and use kissing as a tool for bonding, whereas men use kissing as a precursor to sexual intimacy. And often, at times, the importance of kissing and cuddling is overlooked by most men. A woman needs to be often reassured that she is loved and desired.

What do all of us seek in a relationship? We seek affection, love and understanding from each other. Lack of physical intimacy between partners in a relationship can cause it to go sour as either one or both partners may feel unloved and unwanted. That's because when physical affection is rarely expressed, the importance of maintaining the romantic relationship is lost.

Snuggling and cuddling in the broader sense of the term involves holding hands, hugging, caressing the other person's body parts etc. And these acts of physical affection need not come into play only during sex. That's because they can be effectively used to open up channels of communication at a much deeper level. It communicates reassurance of acceptance of one's partner. Cuddling and snuggling can and should be used as often as possible because let's face it, our lives have become extremely busy with our hectic schedules leaving barely any time for our own selves, let alone our relationships.

Kissing can serve as a bridge between one's sex-life and the relationship as a whole. This is an excellent way to keep up the intimate vibrancy between partners, when they are not making love. Just gently drag your partner and plant him/her a wet passionate kiss, especially if no one's around. Or when you both are in your car and stuck in a traffic jam. Or when your partner is in the kitchen, slowly snuggle him/her from behind and whisper sweet nothings. Going for picnic with your partner is a great way to rekindle romance in your relationship. Snuggling up under a starry sky is the perfect thing to do!
