in touch with the fun, affectionate side of your relationship Remember: fun isn't just a frivolous thing -it's a really important part of staying close and feeling connected to your partner

in touch with the fun, affectionate side of your relationship Remember: fun isn't just a frivolous thing -it's a really important part of staying close and feeling connected to your partner

affectionate and cuddle
