He holds my hand when we are riding in the car. When we are walking he holds my hand or puts his arm around. We've been married 16 years and he continues to hold my hand. I get comfort and security from him even holding my hand while we sleep. When we have gone through some financial storms, we continue to hold hands knowing we are in them together and we come out VICTORIOUS because we are FIGHTING for US and our family.
