H is to Hold

My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Marriage from A to Z in 55 Words. H is for Holding Each Other in Marriage!
H is for Hold Hands in Marriage

55 Fiction

She was walking down the road, yelling at him over the phone.

A sight made her stop in the tracks.

She disconnected the call and suddenly felt more miserable.

When was the last time they did it, she mused.

In the pragmatism of life, holding smartphones and grocery bags had taken precedence over holding hands!

A Word to the Wise

Nothing in this world compares to the comfort and security of having someone just hold your hand. – Richelle E. Goodrich

    1. And isn’t that soooo sweet, Nabanita. It’s the same for us too especially when we are climbing stairs or climbing uphill πŸ˜€ β™₯

  1. True…sometimes we forget to cherish those small tiny moments that pass by us without a trace…guess we must capture them…and hold πŸ™‚

  2. So true!! Love both the quotes – perfect. We started our journey holding hands and I want us to continue like this forever!

  3. Holding hands might seem like a simple gesture but its more than just that.
    For me, it makes me feel loved πŸ™‚
    I totally love holding hands while walking around, whereas some people think that is a PDA.

    1. Let them think whatever they want to, you go ahead and continue to do what you love doing the most, Ananya! πŸ™‚ β™₯

  4. I loved this — one of the reason I never allowed phones or T V during dinner time — it was family time, time to relate and talk to one another. To hold hands and say a prayer of thanksgiving.

    1. What a fab habit you practice, Carol. Agree, meal time is a sacred time, sitting down together and sharing together! πŸ™‚ β™₯

  5. Oh ! The peace that descends on the stressed mind when someone holds our hands and pacifies us ; as a daughter it was dad, or mom ; now as a wife, it is the hus ! So much of peace it provides !!

  6. SG, by far a very wonderful statement and an offshoot of a keen sense of observation, I’m certain.

  7. This is such a sweet post, feel like going…awwww….:) But really, there is nothing better than holding hands to simply convey the message – I care for you. I really do. No matter what.
    A beautiful post, Shilpa πŸ™‚

  8. I remember holding hands frequently in the early years of marriage. As time passed, the hand-holding reduced, but I think the love has grown. It does feel great every now and then, to hold hands when walking. Makes it special πŸ™‚

  9. We always walk hand in hand and people call us a romantic couple! I mean, a couple is suppose to hold hands, right? I feel incomplete if he’s around me and I’m not holding him. These small things matter so much in a marriage.

    1. “I mean, a couple is suppose to hold hands, right?” Hahaha, Nisha, I loved that!! Yes, they are absolutely supposed to hold hands πŸ˜€

    1. Yes, once a ritual is forgotten few years down the line!! But that shouldnt happen! Thank you Sheethal πŸ™‚

  10. Awww…love this one, Shilpa. The feeling of comfort when holding your loved ones hand is priceless.

  11. So important to spice up everyday life a little bit, and what can be more romantic than holding hands.. Back in Norway we get these “two-in-one-gloves” – makes it possible for people to hold hands inside the gloves if they are out walking on a cold winter day:-)

    1. Awwie! Hugs Sunila! Like they say, it’s never too late – never too late to start over!! β™₯ πŸ™‚

    1. Hi Scott! They say, it is never too late to do the right thing. So go on do it right now! Thanks, glad you liked this post πŸ™‚

  12. So true Shilpa, it is comforting to hold hands when you are out walking. Here in the US most people hold hands but back in India, it is only the very young or very old that do so.
