Holding hands-- It start with a tiny fist wrapped around a mother's finger. It continues with a young hand held gently in one much larger. It endures through puppy love, adolescent relationships, and courtship. And if we are wise, it extends into marriage, through middle age, beyond the golden years, to the very end of life.
Holding hands never gets old It's one of the most intimate expression of love between humans.
Don't ever let this beautiful act slip away from you. It's so much more than a gesture of affection, so much greater than a mere symbol of connection. It's an incredibly meaningful communication, a deep connection in and of itself. It requires no words; in fact, no words can convey such a profound message.
Why would two people in love ever stop holding hands? Perhaps it seems silly, somehow undignified, when we are older and have been married a long time. We may begin to think such thins were meant only for young lovers and newlyweds. That's far from the truth! Besides is many other purposes, holding hands helps satisfy the basic human need for physical touch, a need we never outgrow.
Hold your spouses hand throughout your life together; don't ever let it go until the day when you've fulfilled every marriage vow and finally release it form your grasp, placing it lovingly, trustingly into the hand of the Lord.
"I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand . You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory." Psalm 73: 23-24
Con amor,
Vero
