If you haven't yet, Read The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman ... for many men, Physical Touch *is* the language of love. True, intimate, unconditional *love*. And that doesn't just mean intercourse. It's all forms of physical intimacy. For mrs.jingle, Quality Time and Words of Affirmation are 1a and 1b.
The issue is for most people, we express love in the means that we would most want to receive it. It's tantamount to a French man and Italian woman trying to communicate. Man speaks French; woman doesn't understand. And vice versa. A lot of times couples don't know what love language we speak, let alone know how to speak it back in return. I try to give her quality time, and lots of positivity, but it's not my natural language. In turn, physical intimacy is not her native language.
In the jingle example, she doesn't understand why I don't value time together the way that she does... or why I don't appreciate all of the nice things she says. I do, but I'd appreciate a hummer a helluva lot more, and feel far more connected to, and loved by, her. I say that partly tongue in cheek (pun fully intended).
