THE PART OF OUR ANCHOR SCRIPTURE highlighted by the use of capital letters shows that Mr. Boaz had commanded the young men who reaped his harvest fields not to TOUCH Ruth.

Why the command? Why did Mr Boaz have to warn the young men against touching Ruth? It was because he understood the power of attraction between men and women.

Men are powerfully attracted to touch women.
It’s not accidental but divinely designed. However, there’s the right season for it to be exercised and the right person for whom your touch belongs.

On the day you got married, you majestically walked into your season of love-touch and the person to whom your touch belongs is your husband or wife.

According to studies, there are no less than five million touch receptors in the body.

Studies have also shown that every man or woman needs at least twelve loving and meaningful touches everyday to live to their life’s fullest expectancy.

From the information in the two last paragraphs, it’s obvious that those touches from your Spouse are no “useless disturbance” or “unnecessary distraction” as you have probably thought all along. They hold precious benefits for your mutual wellbeing.

In Marriage, after words, the next instrument of communication is your TOUCH.

In marriage, touch communicates affection, acceptance, respect, approval, etc.

In marriage, touch is love-power. It transmits passion, comfort , compassion and empathy. It ignites the engines of gender chemistries and  sets them working. It transmits sensual currents and feelings that move you closer to each other and draws you into each other even without any sexual activity taking place.

Touch is basic to romantic love in marriage. Don’t be that spouse who talks down to their partner discouraging touch-interactions.

Marriage is like the Heart. The heart is always active; beating continually and pumping blood to all parts of the body. Similarly, your marriage should be active continually and one of the activities that ensures this, is romantic touches between you and your Spouse.

In your marriage, don’t be the stiff, formal and conservative partner. Allow the natural force of attraction to freely work in your union. It’s a positive force that breeds more love, richer fondness and mutual understanding between you and your Mate.

In marriage, you need the rain, the latter rain, the drizzles and the dew for the growth of your relationship. Touches supply part of the fresh dew and drizzles that shower your union to make it grow. Therefore, stop rejecting them.

Some think it’s a mark of chastity or piousness to be always pushing off the hand of their husband but it’s not. It simply shows that you don’t have a proper understanding of how marriage works. And that’s not praiseworthy.

Touch is a Gift. It’s Power. Give and receive it from each other with love, gratitude and appreciation.

Touch should not necessarily be geared towards sexual intimacy. It should be an independent and innocent act that’s geared towards expressing
love, respect, friendship, endearment and companionship.

Touch could be given in different ways: by holding hands, by pats, caresses, fondling, massaging, stroking and scratching the body.

Now, a word of caution. Much as you’re in your season of love-touch, it’s important that you exercise discretion and maturity as to where you touch each other.

Do not be indiscrete before children and young people. Neither touch each other beyond pats and holding hands in front of your guests and visitors.

When you’re in public places know your limits and be conscious of what you’re doing. We’re in the days of android phones and spy cameras; and your indiscretions could be easily videoed and splashed on the internet to your embarrassment. So be wise!

A couple of weeks ago, I read about a man who often gets “drunk” with the sight of his wife’s protrusive backsides even when she’s fully dressed and would suddenly grab those hefty derriere in the presence of their little children. This is wrong, immature and ungodly. Do not let the devil use your marriage to corrupt your innocent children.

In conclusion, recognize the gift of love-touch as one of your assets for building a strong, healthy and romantic marriage.
Its handy and always within reach. You don’t need to undress to be able to touch your husband or wife. So be a smart couple. Use this ever available gift to connect with each other and to express your love for one another EVERYDAY.
