Ok so Scott and I haven’t been together for years or anything, but lately we’ve really noticed that when we kiss sparks fly. Girls love kissing, and guys well…who knows what they are thinking.
I’ve had a difficult week. This stuff happens, but dealing with kids, school, finals, a fresh injury from the boat landing and general stress, I’ve really needed a break from reality.
Scott has been home for the last 5 nights, and with everything going on, he tends to try to make me feel better. I’ve shed my share of tears on his shoulder this week. Some tears of anger, some of laughter and a LOT of pain. Scott is one of those really cuddly guys. You know the type with the soft skin, strong arms, and wide shoulders. I could lie in his arms for eternity, if it weren’t for my arm falling asleep or something inhumane like that.
All of this cuddling has ended in a lot of kissing. Kissing has ended in sparks, and well the sparks haven’t gone out yet.
Kissing
What a word.
When I think of kissing Scott, I automatically think of our first kiss. Kissing in the rain was the most amazing thing. The 2nd date where we kissed for hours without coming up for breath. HOT! I wish everyday was like that.
Well I’m starting to think that with a spare 20 seconds in your day, you can return that spark to your relationship. The one where you feel like two teenagers making out for the first time…you know that feeling.
Why 20 seconds, you ask? Well I don’t know how to explain it, but Try it! I heard this from the Slob Sisters. I came across something that said that one of them told the other this little secret, and one morning when the sister’s husband was running out the door she stopped and asked him if he had 20 seconds to spare, and told him what for. Well he said that he would give her 20 seconds and checked his watch. They started their 20 second kiss, with giggles and whatever else may have come from this kiss the husband was 45 minutes late for work!
Ha! 45 minutes late! Now that was some kiss!
I know that we all can’t expect that result, but I bet that in 20 seconds a day, we can all add a little more spark in our relationships.
So I challenge you to start kissing every day for 20 seconds. Report your findings. Was it hard to kiss for 20 seconds? Did it end up lasting longer? Did you actually time your kiss? Does it seem like work? Did it add a little spark?
