The 10 Second Snog

THIS is the best bit of relationship advice I've ever heard and I thought I'd share it because this morning we had been driving for an hour before I realised we hadn't even kissed good morning.  Relationships go through good times and bad, life gets busy, we take things for granted. Sometimes that "buzz" just ain't there and this is a simple way to reinvigorate it. It takes particpation from both parties but just 10 seconds of your time.
Next time you exchange a kiss just count how long it takes. I can pretty much guarantee that unless you are in the first flush of love, it will be pretty quick.  There's the "wake up, rollover and squish lips" kiss, the "goodbye see you at the end of the day" kiss, the "hello honey I'm home" kiss, maybe a thank you kiss and finally a goodnight kiss. I'm pretty sure that most of those will be less than 10 seconds. I challenge you to count how long a normal kiss would be (withough giggling or deliberately stretching it out).
Didn't Einstein imply that if you want a different result you need to change what you are doing?  Well, if you want some more intimacy in your relationship then take a few seconds (literally) and give your partner a 10 second snog instead of the 2 second lip-glances that you most probably now exchange.  I bet your partner is surprised when you continue the kiss for 10 seconds. We have dissolved into laughter, gasped for air and well, generally enjoyed it!
So take the time to stop and deliberately kiss your partner. What's 10 seconds between friends?
