3. Mindful Streaming
Instead of simply sharing couch space, show some physical appreciation to your friend. Give a back scratch. Play with their hair. Trace their fingers. Cuddle close. The strength of the physical touch love language is shown in small actions that speak volumes in underlying feelings.
4. Love Pats
It’s usually attributed to swatting someone’s bum affectionately. And while that’s certainly a way you can show love and fondness, I intend it a bit differently. Pat your friend’s shoulder in a good old-fashioned ‘Atta-boy. Lovingly pat your spouse’s arm while they spend a full 5 minutes comparing cereal brands while grocery shopping.
When your partner comes to bed after you and you’re half-asleep, roll over and give him a light pat-a-pat. The love pats can be a good show of patience, support, and general happiness.
