Oh Kelsey! Why am I not surprised? Anyone can see the sparks between you and Matt! Lucky girl. Keep the fire burning!

I’ve loved all your posts but this is for sure my favorite, for many reasons! I like it so much that I decided to read it again today and thought I’d leave a comment. When Matt and I were just friends that flirted a lot, (I was sooo into him!) every now and then we would play with each other’s hands. It sounds so dumb but that touch was like fire. Now that we’re married, we still hold hands all the time…in the car, at church, anytime we’re walking or sitting next to eachother… I think this post speaks volumes to me because touch and words of affirmation are absolutely my love language. When you said “the woman in me turned to putty” I completely related to that. That’s exactly how I feel when Matt says something sweet or does something sweet. I’m definitely a hopeless romantic by any definition. I just sent the link to this post to Matt so he can read. Anyway, I sure miss you and Dale! Love all your posts! : )

Judy – you’ve given me much to reflect on. I see it everywhere now — older couples clasped hand in hand, arm in arm…

Oh ho! Not stinky diapers…I suspect you are too young of a mom to even have got your hands dirty in cloth diapers–my children’s sole means of “support” pre-potty…YES. Too much distraction in those years — it all takes it’s toll – but don’t you let it! Just wash your hands before holding hands, Mommy.

You are so right! Excellent point. Women not only NEED to receive, but have just as great a need to GIVE affection. And by the by — your prince WILL come.

Heidi dear! You impress me so. Thank you so much for voicing such a healthy viewpoint from the yet-unmarried perspective. I have many friends and readers who so benefit from your positive, optimistic comments at Musings. Your effort to patiently “prepare” yourself by observation and study is a TREMENDOUS blessing that many, if not most, wish they had done likewise.
