I agree with Anna. I think it is very important for the kids to see their parents being affectionate...hugging.. little kisses. Welcome to the site AttorneyMom!!! TheMoms last blog post..Voletta Wallace (Biggie’s Mom) Interview With Essence

Mom and Dad, how sweet! This blog made me cry. Why? Because this is the type of relationship I’d like to have in my life. I’m single and looking–maybe have even been found–but in my singleness I’ve been able to learn what I like and dislike. I’m a hopeless romantic and deeply desire intimacy. Saying all of that to say this, thanks for allowing me to see that there is intimacy after marriage. I grew up with parents who were very intimate during my childhood, so I thought that was just the way things were supposed to be. Keep the intimacy alive–and Mom, thanks for the tips. If I should be so blessed as to start dating soon, I will apply your tips to keep our relationship fresh. And Dad, good job. Keep Mom happy and the whole household’s happy! LOL.

I love this post! I was just talking to my brother (who is not married, and wondered how could it still be exciting) about how my husband and I keep the fire going in our marriage of 14 years. It is the little touch, the passionate kiss, the hug that keeps me coming back and of course leads to more! My husband and I are also PG affectionate in front of the children, just like my parents were in front of me. Their marriage has lasted 39 years, so I think they are a great example.

We have also learned to separate a disagreement from our love life. I agree with TheDad, we can disagree about who should have folded the clothes or whatever, but we are not going to walk around mad for days or not kiss. In fact, our little joke is, when things are not lining up, we need to “sync up” so that we are on the same page!

@ Attorneymom/charactercorner. I love your site. For some reason I was unbale to comment on your site. I did have words to say about many things. Your site is spiritual and “syad”(you know what that means) posts. I am sure TheMom & TheDad will welcome you to this site as I do. I think I found your site from a “side bar” site. No pun inteneded.

@Anna

You are right. I grew up seeing my parents kiss and hug eachother. Although they have been divorced since I was 10 I still remember the good parts of the marriage and the affection they shared and wanted my marriage to be like that.

@Anna - good points about showing affection in front of the kids

Kissing to me is just as important as a hug or cuddling. In between kissing hubby and I look into each others eyes give each other are best kool-aid smile and do it again. Kissing is very intimate for us. Now helping wash the dishes or with the cooking is foreplay. I can’t imagine a “kissless” marriage. You don’t have to have long endless kissing moments in front of the kids but to kiss each other in general is important because the kids get to see that side of their “Old” parents and it may be one of those non knowing teaching moments that our kids see and will think about in their future relationships. Kissing in PG(rating) is a form of affection, just as saying “I Love You”. Kids need to see displays of affection with their parents while they are growing up. There are too many shows with teens and grown ups hooking up with no love or conscience. Kids growing up in a houshold with parents who show affection not just to the(kids) but towards each other have a better sense of security.

Oh Mom—-Yuck!!! What a visual!!! I’m just kidding. I’m glad to know that young people still value the importance of what it takes to make a relationship work. My better half and I are in our mid-40’s and just today we were standing on line at the bank when I turned to face him. We hugged and began smooching (not a long, wet one — we save those for when we are alone). Some people in line were staring and my man said I was going to get us kicked out of the bank. One older lady had a smile on her face and I told him she was probably remembering a time in her life when someone of importance to her made her feel just as I feel about him. Kissing, to me, is the most intimate part of a relationship. It says so much. It can let your partner know that you still desire them, even after 3-4 kids and a little extra weight. It can also be, as stated before, a promise of things to come. Try this — when you wake up one Saturday morning, turn over and give your partner a long kiss. Nothing else. But every hour, repeat this kiss. I promise you, by the end of the day, you will be putting the kids to bed early or calling every relative you know for some last minute babysitting. Those of us that have kids know that we learn to do things efficiently with very little time. A gallop can be invigorating but sometimes we want a leisurely trot. Time to enjoy the ride and take in the scenery.
