Gift Ideas if Your Partner’s Love Language is Physical Touch

Use your partner’s love language as inspiration for a gift! When you align a gift with their love language, you’re showing your partner that you understand them and know how to make them feel appreciated.

If your partner’s love language is physical touch, here’s some ideas to get you started:

Daily Affection – Incorporate simple, consistent acts of physical touch into your daily routine. This could be a quick hug before you leave for work, a kiss on the cheek as you pass, or a hand on their back while you’re talking.

Couples Massage – Massage allows for a deep level of connection and affection through touch, catering to those who feel most loved through physical contact.

Sensual Treats – Cater to their love for physical touch with luxurious items like a super plush bathrobe, soft slippers, or a fluffy bed pillow.

Romantic Gadgets – Surprise them with something that can help you connect or to try something new in the bedroom.

Initiate Intimacy – If appropriate, consider initiating sexual intimacy and making sure your partner feels seen, heard and understood.

If your partner’s love language is physical touch, also consider any other of the five love languages that they prefer.

Couples Therapy with Chana Pfeifer, LCSW

Sometimes it can be difficult to get your spouse to talk about the issues you’re both experiencing.

This is where couples therapy with Chana Pfeifer, LCSW might come in handy!
