Spicy Monday: Kiss Your Spouse Like You Missed Them EVERYDAY!

So we are fortunate at Marriage365 to have a great network of women and men who believe marriage is important. One community member gave some great advice about keeping the spice in one's marriage. "Kiss Your Spouse like You Missed them Everyday!"

Sometimes we forget that it's the little things that matter so much and we go about our lives day after day and forget about our "honey bun." Everyone loves to be appreciated and there is nothing more sensual than a toe curling kiss from your spouse that let's you know they are happy you are around.

When was the last time you made your spouse weak in the knees or breathless from a kiss? Try it and see what happens. Post your thoughts if you like...but all means, Get Your KISS on :-)

3 Reasons to Dance with Your Spouse!

Recently, Happily Ever After: A Positive Image of Black Marriage shard this gorgeous video of a marriage ministry dancing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hph6DMnymRQ&feature=player_embedded#! I loved it so much I had to share the wealth!

When was the last time you and your spouse danced together? There are some great benefits to dancing with your spouse. Here are reason that I personally believe dance should be added to anyone's marriage:

1.Dancing closely with your spouse is very intimate and sensual. There is something very sexy about being close to the one you love. Dancing cheek to cheek, body to body..what could be more sensual than that.

2. Dancing takes intimacy to an emotional high. Dancing, gazing into one's eyes, being able to hear the other's breath, allows the couple to be connected on a deeper level.

3. Dancing together increases self-esteem! Well, it does for me anyway. There nothing that I enjoy more than to know that my husband finds me attractive.

Let me know what you think? To Dance or Not to Dance?

Pay Attention to our Partner's Needs

I love connecting with other advocates of marriage. A great blog to look at is http://forhealthymarriages.ning.com/. Here is a bit of advice from them: "The single biggest stumbling block to being attuned to a partner's emotional status is not paying attention to it. In understanding someone else's viewpoint, in reponding to their needs, is paying attention to them. ~M&G"

I agree with this wholeheartedly, how many times have you tried to speak with your spouse only for them to not pay attention to the fact that you have said something. Or what about the unspoken language we may have, a sigh, being withdrawn, etc. If we want to have a healthy marriage, we MUST pay attention to our spouse's verbal and non-verbal cues. Well said, For Healthy Marriages!!

Is It Possible to Be the Perfect Housewife?

I am blessed to speak around the Country about relationships. I mainly speak with teens and adult women, and one of the things I like to talk about are the expectations that were placed on women in the 1950's. There was actually an article written (see below) on how to be a good housewife. Hee are the expectations in the article:

• Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

Do You Know Your Spouses Love Language?

I was watching a recent broadcast of “Marriage Made Easy” which is a monthly broadcast on The Word Network and is led by Pastors Mike and DeeDee Freeman. On this particular broadcast they spoke of there being a Love Language that each person needs from their spouse. When you think about foreign languages, there are some that we understand and a whole bunch of them that we don’t! Have you ever tried to communicate with someone that spoke a different language? It’s very difficult. First you start speaking loudly, you start using hand gestures, and many times by the end both people walk away frustrated that they weren’t able to understand each other. In a marriage, there is a language of love. There are certain actions that communication appreciation and affection of each person. Within the broadcast there were five areas of the love language that were revealed:
