kiss_lipsI wrote this blog in June of 2011 and thought we could all use a reminder on how it is so important to kiss each other to keep those sparks flying!

Are you still trying to figure out how to have the relationship you thought you would have before you were married? Life does get in the way of being married and with kids. How do you sneak the passion back in when you have forgotten how to do it?

I just finished reading a book by Ellen Kreidman, P.H.D. called “The 10 Second Kiss” and it is a must for couples to read. She brings out the fun in romance. The first chapter is about the 10 second kiss but there is so much more than that in the book.

Per Ellen’s suggestion, I decided I was going to give Larry a 10 second kiss everyday. As you know, I already give Larry a kiss when he gets home and when he leaves but never has there been a 10 second kiss. With my heart wide open I asked Larry to give me a 10 second kiss. Of course, his reaction was “What?” but he laughingly obliged and bent down and gave me the kiss I requested.

Now it is our little connection at noontime before he goes back to work. Typically we both are laughing during the 10 second kiss but there are times when his kisses are very good and there is a passion we have to wait for until he gets home from work. Ah, the anticipation! What fun!

This book is for couples who are looking for ways to connect but don’t feel they have time. Ellen has some great suggestions and they are easy to do. Looking to keep the spark in your marriage alive, then read Ellen Kreidman’s book, “The 10 Second Kiss”

Ellen has written other books I have read. Take the time to read these too. You will learn so much about how to have a great marriage:

Light Her Fire: How to Ignite Passion, Joy, and Excitement in the Woman You

Light His Fire: How to Keep Your Man Passionately and Hopelessly in Love With You

These books are probably out of print but I still highly recommend them. Check your local library and/or Amazon to find a copy.

Do you have a sexless marriage? With all the stress of life today, companies expecting you to do the work of 2 people in 8 hours, people losing their jobs and/or their homes and then making sure the kids are being taken care of would exhaust any couple. How can you be in the mood to make love?

NBC’s Maria Schiavocampo reports on one couple’s struggle with one partner not being interested in being intimate.

portrait of coupleAnother unusual holiday will be celebrated on Sunday, April 28th, by a few people that are in the know and of course this holiday is a special one I wanted to make sure you were aware of. It is “Kiss Your Mate Day”.

With a website called SurprisKiss.com we have to celebrate this one. So Sunday let your sweetheart know about this special day and that you want to make sure you both celebrate by giving each other surprise kisses all day long.

If it has been a while since you have acted like you are lovers here are some suggestions:

• Kiss when you first wake up
• Kiss while you are getting dressed
• Kiss while passing each other in the hall
• Kiss in front of the kids
• Kiss when you are walking into a store
• Kiss while you are cooking
• Kiss while having a cup of coffee
• Kiss while watching a movie
• Kiss when laughing (the best kind)
• Kiss and make up
• Kiss when the kids are asleep
• Kiss just because…..

This should get you both going and I am sure you can think of other times when you would like to kiss.

Oh….and by the end of the day you should both be ready to kiss all night long.

Cheerful young couple in bedDid you know it is Pig in a Blanket Day? What??? Don’t know what Pig in a Blanket is? It is a pancake wrapped around a cooked sausage and syrup over the top. Yum!

Of course I couldn’t leave well enough alone without cooking up a little romance on a day like today. So plan on having Pig in a Blanket for dinner tonight to celebrate and leave a note for your sweetheart to read privately.

Write inside your card:

Ladies:

“Sweetheart I would like your sausage to be wrapped around my pancake tonight and we will have our own culinary delight.”

Men:

“Sweetheart I would like my sausage to be wrapped around your pancake tonight and we will have our own culinary delight.”

A little romance and laughter is always good for your relationship.

Chinese FoodWith winter rains on the West Coast and snow on the East Coast it is a weekend to stay home. But you still want to feel as if you have done something special with your sweetheart.

You can make it special even if it is at home by making it an evening neither of you will forget for a long time.

• Order Chinese Takeout
• Chill the Wine
• Shower Early
• Turn on the Music
• Slip into something sexy

Slip on something sexy, turn on the music, pour a glass of wine for each of you and enjoy your Chinese takeout right out of the box and feed each other with chopsticks. It will get messy and the best part is when the food falls on to your body you can lick it off each other. Things may get hotter than your food but that is the point. Let the fun begin.

Neither of you will ever look at Chinese food the same way again. Your sweetheart may enjoy it so much it may become a weekly ritual.
