Listen up now. The single best way to increase our sense of attachment to our partner is to increase what is nicknamed: “the love hormone”. Sounds simple, right? Well it is.
The formal name for “the love hormone” is known as oxytocin. When we experience happiness, we experience an increase in this “love hormone”. When this “love hormone” is increased in our body, we experience an increase in our sense of attachment to our partner. So what’s the best way to increase oxytocin… our “love hormone”?
Touch is the single easiest way to increase our “love hormone” levels. Could you think of anything easier to do than to touch someone you care about. Think about it. Touching someone you care about is as natural as breathing. Touching, technically referred to as “tactile stimulation”, instantaneously creates an emotional connection between you and your partner and gets the “love hormones” flowing.
If we fall and scrape our knee, we automatically reach down to touch our knee with our hands. We do this because we believe the act of touching our knee will make us feel better. And it does! In our relationship, touching our partner makes us feel better, and more connected because it increases the level of the “love hormone” in our body. This increases our emotional attachment to our partner.
The strength of emotional attachment we feel for our partner forms the basis of the strength in our relationship. A strong emotional attachment creates a strong relationship. A weak emotional attachment creates a weak relationship. It makes perfect sense that as our sense of attachment towards our partner grows, our relationship grows with it.
Holding hands and hugging are just two easy ways we can touch our partner and increase our “love hormone”. I am sure you can think of some more ways.
Touching is the simple, most effective way to increase our sense of emotional attachment to our partner.
