If you're like me you have a lot of past hurts and sometimes when your boyfriend (girlfriend, fiance, or spouse) upsets you, you tend to withdrawal.
Common sense: withdrawing from someone you love hurts your relationship.
If you really love them you don't want to do something that is going to damage that relationship, you want to do things to help it to grow and last. So I wanted to share something I do all the time, no matter my mood, even when I'm upset at my guy.
Kiss them randomly while you're going throughout your day together. Be it at the grocery store, sitting on the couch watching tv, while you're cooking and have a spare second, at a restaurant, etc.
Kiss them while they sleep; it doesn't have to be on the lips you can kiss their cheek or forehead, arms or back. The point isn't to wake them or even for them to know (no harm done if they know though) it's to help your personal love for them to continue to grow.
And kiss them even when you're upset/mad at them. I know that can be hard, but if you really love them think of it this way.
If something was to happen to him (her) or myself how awful would I feel later or how awful would they feel about that being the last moment? How much would I regret not putting aside how I'm momentarily feeling to kiss him (her)?
That thought can bring me to tears and have me running to wherever he is. That moment of hurt and pain is not worth the possibility of an eternity of "I wish I would have"
I know for some what I said is a "duh" but even people who know this fail to put it into practice. Practice it.
I'm not saying you have to kiss them while they sleep every day, maybe just once a week take a moment to kiss them, watch them sleep and just remember how lucky you are to have them.
However, you should be kissing every day. Couples need that intimacy. No, I'm not talking about the kissing that leads to the bedroom, though that needs to be happening too. I'm talking about the simple PDA kiss that's appropriate to do in front of all ages, it's amazing what that simple kiss can accomplish.
One of my favorite things J does is just wraps an arm around me and places a 3-5 second gentle kiss on my head. He does this at home when no one is around, at family dinners surrounded by our loved ones and in the middle of stores surrounded by strangers. Its a simple moment that lets me know he loves me and it always improves my mood.
