Give your loved ones a hug so you can use this word today!
Embrace the Welsh tradition of cwtch, which is not just any regular hug—it's a heartfelt, safe haven created by the arms of your beloved. More intimate than a mere embrace, a cwtch offers comfort, affection, and a sense of belonging. It's where souls intertwine and worries fade away. So next time you pull your partner close, remember that you're giving them a sanctuary—a loving cocoon that speaks volumes without saying a word. Feel the power of a cwtch as it deepens your connection and envelops both of you in pure, unconditional love.
