Both me and my husband are working and leave the home at same time .We leave home at around 9.30 am and i come home at 5.00 pm and my husband comes home at 7.30 pm.We usually talk on the phone during this time once or twice.But we never forget to hug each other before leaving to our respective offices.Even if we are not talking to each other due to some quarrel or other petty issues we still hug each other before leaving.The hugging vanishes the animosity and bad feelings about each other and we again become united .

Yes very much we do. When I was still working few months ago I was the one leaving first because I have to go at 8 while he goes to work at 11 and we always hug each other even he's still in bed and am ready to go. Now that am not working we still do; we always hug each other before he leaves for work and we always kiss too. Yes we have our share of conflicts and quarrels like normal couples but I didn't remember us forgeting to hug (he does even when I just stay still and frowning)and yes, hugging usually sweep away the odd feelings of madness.

I hug my husband and my children evey day when I have to leave for work. It's sort of a routine that we have. If I forget to do it for some reason, or I'm rushed, my four-year-old daughter will come running after me, to remind me. It's so cute when she does it.

My husband and I always give eachother a kiss before he leaves for work. He leaves in the afternoon and doesn't get home till around midnight. I am 95% of the time in bed. He still comes in and wakes me for a kiss and I always like it when he does. It doesn't feel right if he doesn't. Even if we have our little spats, we always give eachother a kiss.

I don't work and neither does my fiance, so I can't answer yes to your question specifically, but we do hug and kiss very frequently off and on throughout the day. We are extremely affectionate with each other and although we may give one another the cold shoulder when we've been arguing, we rarely argue and when we do we get over it quickly.

Hello bamrahkirti! Oh, what a sweet couple. My husband and I were together for one month and we are inseparable that time. But when my father invited him to go and watch cockfighting, I didn't go with him and we hugged and kissed each other before he went to the place. When he came home, he immediately went to our room and kissed me and hugged me and he said that he thought about me most of the time. I miss my husband and hopefully we could be together soon.

It's important to maintain that touch and yes my wife and I always hug and KISS, Mmmmmm, before either of us go anywhere apart.
I work from home but my wife goes out to work 5 days a week.
If either of us slipped out without kissing and hugging the other I am sure I would think she was ticked off at me or something. The mind makes stuff up if I don't get that hug and kiss.
We have been married 26 years and I think I may have stormed out without a hug maybe twice in that time.

We always make a habit of saying "I love you, have a good day, and see you later". Not a day goes by when we don't say "I love you", several times, even when we are mad at each other for any reason.
We tend to hug when we get home from work, it is good to remind each other how much we care.

Everytime we part, we do that sort of farewell, hugging, kissing, the "I love you"
I always watch him drive off until he turns off the street when he leaves. A little bit of it, for me, is that you never know when it may be the last time you will see eachother, things happen, sometimes, and though I try not to think about it, I tend to worry a bit too much about that sort of thing sometimes.

Keep on hugging as often as possible. Not only does it help to defuse the animosity, it is also good for your health overall.
HUGS

Yes I feel its important to hug and kiss each other good bye when going your own way just like you do your children never for the word I love you too cause if any thing were to happen at least you had that last hug and the last kiss and you said I love you.

Yeah sure like I am going to wake up at 6am to do that :))))) If I am up then yes I give him a kiss and a hug but I am not going to wake up just to do that (expecially since I hardly sleep right now been 28 weeks pregnant)
he gets his share of hugs and kisses when he gets home so that should do it

I always hug my partner before leaving the house as this keeps the relationship happy and vibrant.
There's nothing like a big kiss and hug to forget about those nasty bills and such.
And why didn't you take out the garbage?
When there is no kiss and hug you had better bring home a bottle cause the fireworks are likely to start.
I like to think of a nice piece of meat at the supper table and no complaints.
Crocket.

we don't usually hug, but there is always some kind of holding or touch involved. we always kiss goodbye, and on mornings when we aren't running late, we take the time to enjoy each others' company for a bit, whether it be just laying next to each other or talking about the day ahead. once i leave, i always get happy thinking about what i'll be coming home to :)
