Very much so. When I come home I am greeted with a hug. Not a little squeeze but a nice big bear hug. The kind you can snuggle right into.
Does that make me more receptive later? Probably. I do know that once I get my hug it is much easier to leave my work problems sitting out on the porch. Funny but when I pick them back up in the morning they seem a whole lot smaller.
You both sound blessed.
