Kisses can turn your world upside down, but on some days a kiss won't heal a woman's aching heart, or express just how tenderly you feel about her.

Your wife aches to be intimate with you, and that doesn't just mean sex. If you want to improve your sex life, learn to be intimate in the way SHE craves. Be affectionate because you love her - not just because you want to have sex. These touches can be far more intimate and loving to a woman than any kiss ever could.

1. A soul healing hug

2. Your hand on her lower back

3. Pulling her in close and asking her about her day

4. A gentle hug from behind

5. Letting her bury her head in your chest to cry

6. A hand squeeze at just the right moment

7. A neck massage

Or even better

8. A foot massage

9. Pushing her hair behind her ear and looking into her eyes

10. Playing with her hair

11. Pulling her hand away from the dishes and telling her you'll take care of them

12. Whispering in her ear that you're proud of her

13. Pulling her to you for a huge hug, just because

14. Spending an extra five minutes cuddling with her in the morning before work

It may sound trivial, but try out these simple gestures and see how your wife glows from the affection.
