One of the many amazing benefits of cuddling is that it can help you form deeper bonds with your partner, which in turn has a positive impact on your relationship. "Healthy couples respond positively to 86 percent of one another's emotional calls, while unhealthy couples, respond positively only 33 percent of the time," says Colizza, "When you initiate cuddling, you are attempting to connect with your partner and deepen your relationship's overall emotional connection through physical intimacy".
