  I started a thread A LONG HUG http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/128891/1.ashx which touches on the below, but feel this subject deserves a thread of its own.

  A study, highlighted on BBC breakfast news yesterday, acknowledged the importance of holding hands in a relationship, courting or married. It was stated that couples who hold hands in the street are more likely to have a solid relationship - and especially those who interlink their fingers when holding hands as this indicates a desire to be as close to each other as possible. Arm linking is ok, too, but couples who just walk about not holding hands - and this includes married couples - indicates the relationship could be in trouble.

  Do you hold hands with your spouse/partner? Or, does he/she prefer not to and would you say this is indicative of trouble in your relationship? Do you link arms? Do you put your arm round your beloved in the street?

  Ian- unashamedly a hand-holding, arm-linking romantic

  Hi Ian

  Yes! Mrs Clam and I hold hands all the time, unless of course we've had a row.

  Friendship between the sexes
  
  Friendship Between Women:
  
  A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her
  husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man
  called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew about it.
  
  Friendship Between Men:
  A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his
  wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The woman
  called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of them confirmed
  that he had slept over, and two claimed that he was still
  there.

  Hi Ian,

  Yes, Trev and I hold hands all the time when we are out together. We will be going shopping tomorrow morning and, no doubt, will be holding hands. It just seems a natural thing for us to do.

  My ex and I used to hold hands a lot. Now the only person I "hold hands" with is Rocco, my bird. It must look a little comical, me and my bird sitting on the couch watching TV with him holding one or more of my fingers in his foot.

  Good Girl or Bad Girl?

  Mike and I hold hands every chance we get. He's so sweet that he always holds his hand out for mine whenver I drop his for a second (i.e. to take a picture of something, or get something out of my bag).
