[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1OvHQA9YqPHc/en/why-non-sexual-touch-matters-in-marriage?t=4) You have no idea how much a simple touch can mean to her.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1OvHQA9YqPHc/en/why-non-sexual-touch-matters-in-marriage?t=8) A hand on her back, holding her hand while she talks, pulling her close in the kitchen, kissing her forehead, resting your hand on her leg while you sit together.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1OvHQA9YqPHc/en/why-non-sexual-touch-matters-in-marriage?t=37) That last part matters, because when a husband only becomes affectionate before intimacy, his wife can start associating touch with pressure.
