Sweetest Thing

Before Matt and I married, during our premarital counseling in fact, it occurred to me to ask him a particular question. You see, one of my primary love languages is touch/affection. Knowing from conversations with other people who are wired differently than me that they prefer not to be touched when they sleep, I wanted to know Matt's preference. My question was: Would you rather fall asleep touching or not touching? He quickly replied, "Touching." I was surprised, pleasantly surprised. 

Some nights I feel the light touch of his foot reaching to rest against mine, some nights I rest my cheek lightly on his shoulder, but one of my favorite things is hearing the sheet rustle as he's trying to find my hand to hold. :) Those little moments are some of the sweetest things in marriage.
