The Kissing Game

Many of you may not remember the song I Like the Way (The Kissing Game), by Hi-Five; that says: "I like the way you kiss me when we're playing the kissing game, I like the way you keep me looking forward to another day." How awesome is that? Someone who inspires you and makes you smile. 

The other day this song was playing while I was in the kitchen and El grabbed me and we started slow dancing and singing along with the song. I appreciate these moments of intimacy, where it seems as if it's just us in the world. Time stopped for that moment while we were in the kitchen swaying back and forth. I thought, he's my man and I'm his woman. We've been through storm together and now we can see the rainbow and I believe there's a pot of gold at the end of it. We're taking the time to enjoy each other and to be close and to be in the moment. To enjoy each other's kisses. To talk about everything. To listen attentively and regurgitate information later for more stimulating conversation. To let each other know we're here and we're not going anywhere. To block out the world and all it's negativity. To be quiet sometimes in our space together. To be free from judgment and fear. To worship together. To praise together. To play the kissing game. 


Make time to be in the moment with your spouse...

1. Stop and smell the roses. Slow down and enjoy the little things with them. Enjoy that story they tell that may take them forever to finish; notice the inflection in their voice and the excitement on their face. Dance in the middle of the kitchen. Pretend to be strangers meeting for the first time the next time you go to the grocery store. Walk in the rain. Tomorrow's not promised to us. Enjoy these moments today! 
2. Think positive thoughts. It's easy to concentrate on all the things your spouse isn't doing. But what about those things your spouse does that you do like? What about those qualities that impress you? Focus on those things. And pray about the other things. Tomorrow's not promised to us. Think positive thoughts today! 
3. Play the kissing game. Blindfold your spouse and sneak kisses on different parts of their body. Make some kisses soft and some wet and sensuous. You may want to lick parts of their body to tease them. See how long you can hold a kiss when your spouse first comes home. Ask your spouse where is his/her favorite spot for you to kiss. Tomorrow's not promised to us. Play the kissing game today!


I like the way you kiss me when we're playing the kissing game, I like the way you keep me looking forward to another day.


Playing the kissing game every chance we get,
El & Zina
