Yesterday I wrote that part of plan­ning your holi­days and creating holiday tradi­tions is a good way to ensure that your rela­tion­ship solid­i­fies. So here’s the first of your parlor games for your holiday couples’ party: Kissing Games… no not kissing someone else’s partner. Kissing your own. Prac­ticing PDAs!

Set up some cate­gories: movie kiss, shy kiss, wedding kiss, goofy kiss… and here’s an impor­tant one: the first kiss. do you remember what that was like? tell the story. Remember. what other kinds of kisses are impor­tant to have?

Icky you say? You know, it’s good to prac­tice the romance and to acknowl­edge that it’s hard work. It’s good to giggle about it, and to giggle about it with other friends. So many people give up kissing when romance deepens to rela­tion­ship. Kissing becomes prelude rather than a goal in itself. Remember what it was like when you first started kissing. Somehow that degen­er­ates to Quick pecks. nice, but not a meal in them­selves! No, long luxu­rious kisses will go a long way to making life and marriage sweeter!

Tip: call a party of your favorite couples together for a party and parlor games. hold a kissing contest. Figure out prizes. Laugh a lot. Kiss! Laugh some more. Then when your guests go home find ways to add more kissing to your rela­tion­ship. It’ll do you a world of good!
