The in-law thread on the family forum got me thinking about this topic because some posters described their families' dynamic and seemed to define affection by the amount of hugs and "I love you's." I thought about this and decided that I would disagree with this sort of equation because I don't think that a lack of words or hugs means there is a lack of love or devotion. This is just one of many ways to show affection, but perhaps the most visible?
How do you express affection? Do you think that a family dynamic is "cold" if "I love you" and hugs aren't common?
