To me, the funny thing in this thread is our awareness of the power of human touch and how we participate in this before and after marriage, yet to some it is being presented as little different than a passing glance or a courteous salutation.
During times of marital conflict there is often an immediate loss of TOUCH, EVEN IF the persons involved were on a couch --watching a movie.
Maybe what some want is to have the pleasurable things about being married but don't want the hassles that accompany a lose of individual liberty that BOTH parties experience by the vow that forms of the new marriage entity.
