Older couples holding hands

Every man should hold his wife's hand when out walking! Stops her nipping off into a shop and spending money!

My husband and I are in our seventies and we have always held hands etc....

DH and I always held hands. I do miss it and him dreadfully. Was thinking that as I sat in the cinema on my own yesterday watching a film he would have loved.

BlueSapphire I can imagine.Sadly we know that it's going to happen and one or other will be left to cope alone...

The couple in the OP'story had just had a car accident. It is at times like that handholding is most needed.

Once on my way back from holiday I saw my neighbours walking down the lane holding hands, something I'd never seen them do in all the years we'd known them. I later discovered they'd been on their way to console a friend who had suffered a terrible tragedy.

When we heard what had happened to him we also visited him. I hugged him and he wouldn't let go. The hug went on for a very long time. He so needed physical contact at that dreadful time.

We always hold hands, especially in busy places. It helps with my anxiety and balance. I feel comfortable and safe holding hubbies hand and we often seek out each other’s hands when sitting watching tv or lying in bed.

Keep on holding hands for as long as you can as the day may come when you can’t do it anymore ?

DH and I always hold hands, been doing it for 40 years and never want to stop. The warmth of his hand in mine is the most wonderful feeling. We also like to snuggle up on the sofa in the evenings, though these days I have competition from the dog!!

If we are not holding hands it’s because I have hold of my husband’s arm. I find it unthinkable that I would walk beside him without holding his arm or hand.
