Why Kissing is Important

Before we get into this topic, just a few things have to be said.
  1. Further research needs to be done in order to confirm what you are about to read.
  2. This is based on a chocolate-loving monkey's opinion and confirmed by some links below.
  3. Considering there is a time and place for everything, the type of kiss being referred to is not so much the tight little closed-mouth perfunctory ones. Today's discussion is based on the type of kissing that searches souls and the ones that,at times, make knees weak, heads dizzy, and bodies quiver...the ones that stops time and convince one that everything can wait and nothing is important except you and your partner, right here, right now. Ultimately, the type that makes you go out and buy chocolate to satisfy your unsatisfied desire.
When thinking about how exquisite being engaged in a kiss is, it only causes one to wonder why couples don't do it often enough. Or why does it seem to end after courting.

The relationship:

Boy meets girl. Boy likes Girl. Girl likes Boy. They share a first kiss, sweet, innocent, wonderful. They continue getting to know each other. Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy. Kisses become more passionate. Boy & Girl feel like life would not be the same without each other. Time passes. Whether they get married or not, the relationship has its ups and downs. Problems go unsolved. Kisses come less often. Kisses become perfunctory or stop all together. Arguments continue, you fall out of love. Relationship/marriage ends. Boy and Girl are left to wonder "What happened? Where did we go wrong."

Depressing I know. Really and truly sad, but it doesn't have to be that way. I don't want to make it seem so trivial, I mean the mighty creator above knows that many factors could cause disagreements between a couple, from petty things like not taking out the trash, to major things like infidelity, yet so many disagreements could be solved, prevented or repaired with an intimately passionate kiss. Ha, I can even say a scowl on your partners face could disappear with a few playful kisses on the cheek or by the ear.

This is why I second the motion that:
Work + Kiss = a healthy marriage/relationship.
I mean if you, while young, let passion die then what other glue do you have to help keep that relationship going? Of course, friendship, communication, and trust are vital and I can't really speak on behalf of men, but for womankind KISSES are very essential. They comfort us, remind us that we are loved and desired. Kisses really do ease the mind, not only after a fight, but especially out of the blue, just because "I love you."

A relationship is hard work, "fights" do happen. There is a reason why they say "kiss and make up." An affectionate kiss gives you a chance to feel each others soul, to awaken the spirit of desire, and remember the love that you found in each other in the first place. Granted, the passion of kissing will in reality fade meaning that kisses won't always cause the same knee weakening effect it did at the start of the relationship, however that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to keeping the passion alive by kissing.

On a side note
"Kiss and make up" may lead to "make up sex"... but not the other way around. The other way around could lead to an unsatisfying mental state...not a good thing.

In conclusion,
couples have forgotten one of the things that set them together in the first place....the first kiss... So, why not continue kissing your partner? Why not engage her/him in some tender and intimate soul searching?

If you or someone you know may have forgotten how to kiss direct them to the link below, it may help save their relationship.

Informative post. Thanks for the links too.

I read your references and boy do they advocate that sex has a whole lot to do with keeping a marriage together. I'll suggest it to my parents.

Scary enough, my balls should be dropping off pretty soon, they've been blue for a while if you know what I mean. It's a good thing I still wear TMNT briefs.

Ah [sigh], a wonderful thing this kissing and funny as hell was that video! I feel like trying it out ASAP.

Leo: Hey Sasquatch, well sex is a major part of marriage, but affection is what leads to that final outcome. Affection, tenderness, kissing helps to ease the mind...if your spouse is that way with you it feels like all is right with the world...at least in my naive mind that is how I feel. As for the um...those blue Easter Eggs of yours, my humble appologies for choosing such a topic. Had I known this would have added to your pain I would not have written it. By the way TMI!!!!!!

Babe: Hi sweeie, "i guess it is kinda important...so i will try to kiss more often..." Yes it is important, and I do hope you mean "I will try to kiss YOU more often" I guess you do cause the rest of your comment implied it...but I'm live for your attention...think me needy for your love. You are in my life so why not live life in love.

Beth: Hi Girly, I thought it was interesting too...especially that I'm not the only one in this world that feels that way. Don't worry about not being inspiried by it, to each their own.

Beth said...

I think the day it becomes applicable I will march to that exact tune. Until then, I'll just find it all very interesting.

Interesting!

There is nothing more soul stirring than the kisses in an early part of a relationship.

I've been married for twenty years. The kisses aren't what they used to be, but the sex has gotten much better, even though it was very good in the beginning. When you know someone for that long, you lose all of your inhibitions, which is what leads to fantastic sex.

There's much to look forward to in long relationships.

Helbaby said...

Hey Queeny,
Wow that gives me something to look forward to...I'm glad you and your hubby are enjoying the sexual part of life... I just received some horrifing news...my aunt and uncle might be getting a divorce... they've been together forever...I mean almost 50 years and yes it's caught red handed in someone elses cookie jar...which brings me back to my question...if you still have it, then why aren't you doing it with the person you vowed to love for all your life? Why is it that keeping connected is so difficult? it's so depressing. I mean if a couple that has been together so long can't keep it together, what have we, newly weds, left to look forward to?

Beth said...

My Dad tells me that that is way it is important to do two things: Work hard for yourself so a man can't destroy your life and establish so much trust in God that you have confidence that, when things go wrong He will be able to figure it out for you so you don't go crazy. I am paraphrasing, but I am in the process of living that one out. There is prefect love, but people are people.

Helbaby said...

I can't agree with you more:
Psalm 118:8
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

Man/Woman is only human...it's good to know you have someone to lean on when people let you down.

It is also my shortcoming that I put too much trust in people, I think that's why God sets me straight...I'm only thankful that I can still hear His whispers even though I tend to isolate Him. For all I know its a whisper because His voice is horse from trying to get my attention..LOL.
