The fifth of the five love languages is “Physical Touch”!  Almost every study ever conducted has found that babies that are hugged, kissed and loved on develop a healtier emotional life than those that are left for long periods of time without physical attention!  We have receptors all over our bodies, these nerves carry impulses to the brain and cause pain or pleasure!  Physical touch has the great capacity to communicate how we feel to another person by allowing them to feel from our touch!

A person who has physical touch as their love language appreciates touch and hears your expression of love though touch much louder than someone who has another of the love languages.  A hug communicates love and appreciation, but to a person with the love language of physical touch, a hug shouts love and appreciation!

If you happen to love someone who has the love language of physical touch, make sure that you are paying attention for the clues that they will provide about what they like.  Be sensetive to their needs, likes an dislikes and remember your goal is the other person’s pleasure!
