Green Flag: Affection

When affection is your biggest green flag, the two of you show love in ways that can be seen and felt. You hug hello, reach for a hand, sit close on the sofa and say kind things without needing a reason.

It shows up all day long. A kiss on the way out, a message to say you miss each other, a squeeze after good news. When one of you is low, the other moves closer.

This is a strength to lean on because it keeps you both feeling wanted. Warmth in the easy moments makes the hard ones softer, and it is often the quickest way back to each other after a disagreement.

What keeps it strong: do not let busy weeks crowd it out. Keep the small habits, like a proper kiss goodnight, and tell each other what kind of affection you like most, since that can change over time. A long hug takes a minute and says a lot.
