To gear up for Valentine’s Day and to remind us of the importance of kissing our spouse, I wanted to propose a challenge………………
Do you remember the first time your spouse kissed you. I do, on the balcony of my apartment in Stephenville, Texas. As he drove me home, the palms of my hands were sweating, and the only thing I could think about was….will he kiss me goodnight? He held my hand as we walked up the stairs of my apartment and when we got to my door, he reached for my hand, leaned in, and boom! Nothing else mattered at that time, his lips on my lips! Thank God for lips!
After a few years of marriage, there’s different kisses for different reasons…
- The quick peek rushing out to work kiss
- The “man your breath stinks” so I will kiss you on the forehead kiss
- The hurry and kiss me before I fall asleep kiss
- The I admire you hug with a kiss
- Thanks for dinner kiss
- And the let’s make a baby kiss…..Yes, still a pastor’s wife and to late for babies! I apologize in advance if I embarrassed my two grown son’s and daughter in law. And that brings me to my last kiss
- Let’s makeup kiss
Now with this being said, sometimes we fall into a trap of forgetting how important it is to kiss and not just one of those habit kisses but A KISS HIM LIKE YOU MEAN IT KISS! And for this I am challenging each of you to kiss your spouse like you mean it for 10 days! This is a fun way to make your marriage stronger. So resist the temptation to fall into one of the above snooze zone kisses. Kissing him like you mean it should pack a powerful punch, so pucker up!!
Day 1: Surprise him by giving him a kiss first thing in the morning
Day 2: Write him a note telling him how much you enjoy his kisses
Day 3: Kiss him in the the feed truck or car…. if you’re not a rancher
Day 4: Kiss him when he gets home
Day 5: Kiss him goodnight
Day 6: Kiss him when he carries in the groceries
Day 7: Kiss him when he least expects it
Day 8: Kiss him in a public place
Day 9: Kiss him just because you love him
Day 10: Kiss him because your marriage is important and everything else can wait!
Kissing is mentioned 35 times in the Bible, according to http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Kissing. Surprisingly not all of them are related to husband and wife. If you’re interested you can follow the link to find out more but for this post I will leave you will my favorite kissing verse.
Song of Songs 1:2
She
“2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.”
Now doesn’t that make you want to read your Bible more? Speaking of questions, I have one for you…..where were you the first time your spouse kissed you? Love hearing from you thecowboypastorswife
