Thanks for your kind reply.

I failed to mention . . . most women are vulnerable to honest, congruent, fitting, non-sexual touch focused, touch laden communications.

However, most women are also hyper-sensitive to any hint of manipulation. They are skilled at dishing it out and at resisting the same toward them. LOL.

So, if a man wishes to use touch laden communciations [can involve using a lot of kinesthetic words—like “I feel . . . “ “warm,” “soft,” “rough,” “smooth,” “hot,” “touching,” “furry,” . . . ]

If a man wishes to use touch laden communications with a woman, he would need to do his best to insure that it was honest, congruent, fitting, authentic, sincere, etc. or it could easily backfire.

One of the favorite homework assignments of some counselors used to be for the squabling couple to always hold hands throughout an argument. Not letting go of each other’s hand at all. It can be a powerful rule change.

Thanks much for your kind words.

God’s best to you and yours.
