There's something about that kind of kiss that's going to lead to more.

More attention.

More conversation.

More affection.

More intimacy.

More kids, perhaps?

Hehe.

There's something about that kind of kiss that's going to lead to more.

And, sadly, there's something about marriage that causes a decline in those sort of special smooches.

But, there's something about that kind of kissing that makes me ache for more of it.

Because, when there is more if it, there's also more

connectedness,

support,

friendship,

and an undeniable and unbreakable kinship.

There's something about that kind of kiss that's going to lead to more.

And, me?

I want that kiss AND the more.

It isn't easy to stay married.

It's even harder to stay married and happy.

But, the most challenging is probably accepting that the kisses that lead to more may steadily decrease as your years of marriage increase.

Don't let them.

I repeat, don't let them.

There's something about that kind of kiss that's gonna lead to more that is vital to a fully-functioning and gratifying relationship and marriage.

Force that kiss if you must.

Steal that kiss if you can.

Beg for that kiss and have no shame.

There's something about that kind of kiss that's going to lead to more, and I'm on a one-way train to get me one of those tonight.
