Question:

I visited your site and need your advice on holding hands in relationships prior to marriage. Is it ok for my boyfriend to hold my hands before I get married? Can this be dangerous like playing with fire? Or, is it ok as long as we use discretion? What’s your advice?

Answer:

Holding hands shows close feelings between two people, but does not have a sexual connotation. Holding hands should be perfectly safe in a relationship.
