Why Tenderness?

Tenderness is gentle kindness. It has a feeling of generous compassion and affection. Why is this valuable in partnership? Practicing tenderness toward your mate creates an open space for roots to solidify in trust. The offered experience of unsolicited softness as an expression of love sends a message to your partner that the space they are in is one in which they can be at ease, vulnerable and taken care of. Did you know that it is equally important for women to express tenderness to men? Men benefit greatly from the tender endearments of a woman’s softness toward him. It is balance for his masculinity. It is rest and medicine for his warrior. It is water to soothe the fire he burns all day out in the world. Tenderness is necessary and not to be overlooked, nor taken for granted.
