Increase trust and closeness

If you haven’t yet learned how to give your sweetie a therapeutic massage, February is the perfect time. Receiving massage from your partner can yield all the benefits you expect like reduced stress, decreased achiness and improved sleep. But it can also do wonders for your relationship. It’s a way to get away from interruptions, have a chance to listen to each other (body language as well as words), and increase trust and feelings of closeness.

You can take a class from your local massage therapist. You’ll also learn techniques to minimize stress on the giver. The result: you’ll be able to give each other relief from daily stress, tension headaches, minor injuries, and other aches and pains. A class with your partner is a wonderful way to be introduced to massage. If one of you isn’t comfortable getting undressed for a professional massage, sharing massage at home is one solution.

Just think, with a massage class for two, you can receive massage often — and from your sweetheart, too.
