Many couples in long term relationships share a short, yet sweet kiss at various times of the day. Have you considered taking a little more time over this intimate action, rather than just a quick peck?
Taking a more mindful moment to enjoy a longer kiss with your partner, increases awareness and connection.
Research by Dr. John Gottman suggests that a 6 second kiss on the lips has many benefits for your relationship and for your health!
For your relationship:
Brings your focus to your partner.
Improves connection.
Increases intimacy.
Deepens love and affection.
Invites physical touch.
Increases desire.
For your health:
Reduces cortisol levels, reducing stress levels.
Increases oxytocin, the feel good hormone.
Calms and soothes the mind.
Increases positivity.
Taking time for each other, builds stronger bonds and a longer lasting relationship.
