Did you know that your sexual wellness and wellbeing is integral to not only your emotional health, but also your physical health too? The benefits of being in a loving relationship can have wide-reaching implications for your health. Human touch has long been recognised as having powerful healing properties. It increases the production of growth hormones, endorphins and DHEA, all of which increase your life span and lower the negative impact that stress can have on your body. Studies have even shown that patients who are regularly touched recover faster than those who are not touched at all.
Give someone a special hug, pat or massage and you could help to improve the mood and health of both of you. Studies show that those who are loved and cherished by members of their family tend to live longer lives and have fewer illnesses. A loving, meaningful relationship, both with your family and with a significant other, do not necessarily come naturally, but they are worth working on and investing in, as they can create a lot of positive side effects for your health.
If you want to work on your relationship, think about it in terms of sharing yourself with another. Share your energy, time and your inner self with your loved one. Look at the life you share and think of ways that you could make them happy. You might want to cook their favourite meal one night as a surprise, or do the dishes to help take the burden off them. You could send them a card, writing inside it all the qualities that make them special to you. You can even buy them a gift, which does not need to be elaborate or expensive, but should be specific to them – something that you know that they will like and that will show how well you like them.
