Quote: RB, that was kinda my thought. Knowing my W, it would not go a day without her asking me why I was in a bad mood or something. She would take it as punishment (go figure, then I guess I have been punished our entire marriage) if I for some reason stopped my touching her.
That's why I said to be playful about it. Make it a game and tell her that she doesn't get a backrub unless she gives you a real kiss. Tease her and make it fun and she won't think it's punishment.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
