Relationship: Cuddle Time
Cuddling is an essential part of love. It keeps the freshness of love. Cuddle each other whenever together. When your mate is in bed reading a book, sitting on a couch watching a movie just get close to and say you want to cuddle. Just hold hands while watching a movie or just rest over the shoulder of your partner when he or she is reading. Cuddle each other in whatever way you can. It is just another way of saying that you care and love your partner.

tear down the very person we claim to love. I think it has become so
common in our society that sometimes people don’t even realize they are
doing it.
