Whether they come alone or are accompanied by kisses and cuddles, hugs are one more proof of how physical affection leads to relationship satisfaction.
You should start and finish every day of your relationship with a hug and this is why:
1. It safeguards intimacy
One hug can tell you more than a thousand spoken words. A warm tight embrace is like saying, “I love you.” and “I’m here for you.” without saying a single word.
That’s why a hug safeguards intimacy. It makes a couple more connected and closer without lovemaking.
2. It builds trust and security in a relationship
Hugging establishes a better connection with the person you love. It increases the level of understanding you have for one another, and it tightens the bond between you.
When you hug, your mind gets a message that you are with someone you can trust. That’s why you get overwhelmed with feelings of safety and love while you are between someone’s arms.
3. It’s a confidence booster
Hugging doesn’t just build the trust you have in your partner. It also enables you to trust in yourself, too. Hugs improve your self-image and boost your confidence.
It makes you more resistant to all the negative outside effects when you feel so good from the inside.
4. It has a calming effect
People don’t always know the right thing to say to make the situation better. Luckily, a hug has a calming effect.
When somebody hugs you, no matter what mood you are in, you will instantly feel better. A hug sends a clear message that they care about your feelings and that they are there. That’s better than anything anyone could say.
5. It has amazing health benefits
It’s scientifically proven that a hug has enormous health benefits. It boosts your immune system, reduces blood pressure, decreases the chances of heart disease, and it also improves your memory.
So if you are still, by any chance, looking for a reason to hug, there is no better reason than to improve your health.
6. It makes all the negative emotions disappear
When you hug your partner, you are actually doing a huge favor to their mental health. Immediately, their oxytocin levels are heightened.
This is a good thing because the higher the oxytocin level, the more positive the feelings. That’s why something as simple as a hug can reduce the feelings of isolation, loneliness, and anger in your partner.
7. It allows you to sleep better
As we’ve learned by now, the benefits of hugs are numerous, but there is nothing like a good night’s sleep. Hugs have a calming effect, they reduce stress and make you more relaxed.
That’s why couples who hug and cuddle have a better night’s sleep. Their moods are better, and by default, their relationship is stronger.
8. It betters your sex life
Hugging can start a chain reaction. Hugging can lead to kissing, kissing to making out and cuddling, cuddling to sex.
Hugging doesn’t necessarily lead to sex, but it’s a good starting point if you want something more than hugs. Just the proximity of your bodies will be enough to light up the spark between you.
