Non-sexual physical intimacy is important because it builds trust, creates space to cherish one another, encourages the discipline of giving and finally, is simply to enjoy one another. 

Pay attention to the things about your partner that you find sensuous. I like the softness of Ann’s cheek. She appreciates the warmth of my caress. We could go on. 

So enjoy one another. Spend time cuddling. If cuddling isn't your thing I encourage you to spend time practicing it until you get more comfortable with it. Hold hands. Be sure and touch some when you are sleeping. Ann and I will snuggle for a while and then settle into our individual comfortable sleep positions. As I mentioned previously, a massage is a great way to give.
