Say Goodbye to Dry Kisses!

By Geraldine Stroud:: EEW Magazine Marriage

My lips turned toward him as my eyes shifted toward the milk that had spilled on the kitchen floor. The three kisses we share daily, without fail, just before he darts off to work, has been a routine for years. In our early days of marriage, we looked into each other’s eyes and enjoyed the sensation of our lips touching and grazing sensually.

But somewhere along the way, the morning peck grew drier, more robotic, and less meaningful. It was no more than a ritual that had become as hard and stale as week old bread left open.

Sound familiar?

For many married couples, kissing can become like a lost art that isn’t done as often or as tenderly as it should be. Puckering up turns into nothing more than a duty to be carried out just before uttering a half-hearted, “Okay see you later, babe.”

How do things grow mechanical and lose excitement? Life happens to us and we just let it.

We rush out of the house for work, try to keep the kids from killing each other, and do our best to tidy up our home so it won’t look like a typhoon hit it.

Aside from the million-and-one other tasks we have to complete, who has time for a real, genuine display of affection?

You do! All wives (and husbands) do. But the key is making time.

We must be willing to do the work, stop operating on auto-pilot, and slow down long enough to stoke those flames of passion.

More flirting and seducing will not only improve your sex life, but it will also make your spouse feel wanted, which is very important. If you’re not purposely touching, deliberately caressing and regularly fondling, start doing it today.

Say goodbye to dry kisses and hello to the Song of Songs 1:2 kind: "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—for your love is more delightful than wine.”

That sounds pretty romantic and nothing like a dry peck at all!

If you’re ready for deeper, sexier, more intoxicating kisses from your spouse, try these tips:

Surprise him with a new delicious lip flavor. He’ll love it when you flirtatiously offer him a taste of your smackers. Your coy, playful and seductive invitation will lure him in for sure, and you’ll both enjoy the results.

As women, we know how to multi-task, which is a great skill to have. But looking at a book, computer screen, or other goings-on while kissing, is a big no-no. Try gazing directly in his eyes to let hubby know you’re fully in the moment.

There is something so sweet and arousing about touching. If you want to instantly heighten the sensation of the kiss and excite him in the process, gently caress his face and do lay it on him like you mean it. He surely won’t forget that.

Every smooch won’t be a passionate one. However, occasionally, go a little slower with that goodbye peck. Press your lips into his and linger a moment. You both will feel and enjoy the results a whole lot more.

So what you’ve been married a while! Every man loves to have his ego stroked. When’s the last time you told him how soft his lips are or how much you love kissing him. If you want to see him blush and poke his chest out a little more, create your own version of Song of Songs and pour it on thick.

Don't wait to be romantic. Go on and pucker up!
