I thought a lot about your question last night. One of my W's "issues" with me has been a lack of affection over the years. Kind of a taking her presence for granted thing. I am using a simple hug, touch on the shoulder etc to re-establish a physical, not sexual connection. So to answer your question, yes it is getting me closer to my goal.
