Sense of belonging
Cuddling is a way to communicate non-verbally to your partner how much you care about him. It’ll make him feel connected to you, and give both of you a sense of belonging towards each other.

Positions are endless
When you’re cuddling with your partner, the positions are endless; the spooning, the half-spoon, the leg hug, the lap pillow. The list goes on. Both of you can find a position that works best for you.

Natural pain killer
Cuddling releases the hormone, oxytocin which is the body’s natural painkiller. And if you have a headache, cuddling helps decrease the pain significantly.

Eases stress
Here again, the release of the hormone oxytocin; will help you to calm down. And the calming effect that you partner’s warm hug has, will also help you deal with stress in a better manner.

Fall asleep sooner
When you feel calm, you’ll feel less anxious and more relaxed; and cuddling before bedtime will certainly help you both fall asleep faster.

Quality time
When your partner and you are cuddling, it’s the perfect way to spend quality time with him. And it’s a great moment to whisper sweet nothings to him.

It’s a great way to make up
If you need to cool off after an intense argument, both of you could take a break from all the discussion and nestle comfortably with each other.

Destress after a tough day
When you’ve had a particularly hard day at work, all you want to do is reach home and be in the arms of your partner. Cuddling is a great way to destress after a taxing day.

Warm feeling
Doesn’t it feel amazing to be held by someone you truly love? Cuddling makes you feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy; and yes it because of the hormone again. That’s the reason why oxytocin is called the “love” hormone.

Leads to sex
Have you heard that ‘spooning’ leads to ‘forking’? When you’re cuddling with your partner, it’s likely that it could lead to both of you having amazing sex.
