30-Second Kiss
We kiss royalty on the hand, grandma on the cheek, and our children on the forehead. Over time many married couples tend to settle for lazy kisses. But a 30-second kiss, a standing-in-the-kitchen-at-the-end-of-a-long-day kiss that’s qualitatively different. It takes time and determination but that’s the point. It gets you out of your rut. It adds energy to your marriage and communicates how much you value one another. It might gross out your kids, but if it affirms your usness, it’s worth it.

Ron: There are all kinds of kisses. We kiss royalty on the hand, grandma on the cheek, our children on the forehead and then there’s that holy kiss thing, but I’m not sure what that’s about. Over time many married couples tend to settle for lazy kisses.
But a 30-second kiss, you know, a standing-in-the-kitchen-at-the-end-of-a-long-day kiss that’s qualitatively different. It takes a little time and determination but that’s the point. It gets you out of your rut. It adds energy to your marriage and communicates how much you value one another. Yes, it might gross out your kids, but if it affirms your usness, it’s well worth it. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
