Does your partner massage your back for you?

Last night my hubby was having trouble sleeping, it was about 3am and I knew he hadn't slept well so I gave him a back scratch and massage and a head massage. He does the same for me if I am stressed out or having trouble relaxing, I just wondered if other couples do this for each other? I love having my back massaged and I also enjoy giving my hubby a back rub, cos I know he appreciates it and of course cos I love him.x

I always tell my hubby that he should be a massage therapist, because he gives the best back massages in the world! Most of the time, he'll just come up to me and start massaging my back, and I'm in heaven. He likes to have his feet rubbed, because he's standing all day in a machine shop, wearing steel toed boots, but he loves having his back rubbed, too. But I know I'm not nearly as good as he is.

I am in heaven too when my hubby gives me one, though my hubby only likes his back not his feet massaged, he has such ticklish feet I can not go near them!!!! :)

I think you should hold of on giving anymore until you get one in return! Lol We don't ask for one in return but it is just something we know the other will do if the shoe is on the other foot and we are the one who has a headache or can't sleep. Sometimes it turns into something more.....

My wife loves to have her back rubbed, or more so, scratched! I probably don't do it as often as I used to, as I think my fingers are about an inch shorter from when she was pregnant, and liked her back scratched nearly everynight, lol!

My wife seldom massages me on the back. She is not professional as she loves to say. Sometimes when I ask her to, she is willing to and the same with me.

I am not, nor is my hubby a professional back scratcher or massage giver, but it does not matter. A massage from your other half is always a good thing I think.It is good that you are both willing to give each other one. :)

Sure why not? He does it for me and I do it for him as well. Its both way. It is very comfortable to have someone massage your back especially after a hard day at work. It not only relieves and soothes you, it is also good for your relationship too.
