Even Puppies Need a Pat

I just sucked it up, said a quick "Holy Spirit, help me!" prayer, and walked into the bedroom and told her I wanted to talk to her.

LOL!!! I think I have heard my H mutter that same prayer.

That touch thing comes from John Gottman. We have found that just touching each other - the act of just reaching out - diffuses so many arguments. It's hard to argue with someone who is holding you tightly and loving you in spite of all your (my) ugliness. We all just want to know that we are loved.
