Several years ago, my kids participated in a program in their elementary school entitled, 'Good Touch/Bad Touch.' As you can tell from the title, it dealt with knowing the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touch. It was a great program, and I wish more school systems had the resources to educate their students through programs such as this. While the content was great, the title 'good touch/bad touch' has become a joke in our house, and whenever we are tickling and laughing and wrestling and my son is 'losing' he will suddenly yell out, 'bad touch!' And we'll all start laughing. Less funny is that idea that neither good touch, nor bad touch, but absolutely 'no touch' is happening in so many marriages today. Stathas, a marriage and family therapist near Lake Oconee, Georgia, and founder of the Stathas Life Development Center, so many of the couples he counsels mention that being touched by their spouse is what is missing in their relationships. I can relate. So many people I've spoken to also talk about having no touch in their marriage. In fact, I frequently hear, 'I feel as if I am married to my best friend,' but I disagree. I know many best friends who still hug and kiss whenever they see each other. The people I talk to are saying that absolutely no touch is occurring within their marriages. In this case, these couples mean that they have absolutely no physical touch left in their relationships., 'to be touched is to put your arm around him or her, hold hands, give a gentle caress or pat on the fanny, give a massage, give a gentle or passionate kiss, or make love.'
