How to Kiss Your Husband

how-to-kiss-your-husband

If all you do is give a peck to your husband, you’re missing out on some great fun. Why not surprise your husband with a fabulous kiss that will knock his socks off?

Go drink some water first to make sure your mouth isn’t dry. But your lips need to be dry. Not dry like the Sahara, mind you, but dry to the touch. If your lips are so dry that they’re cracking, go put on some lip gloss. Not chapstick. That’s for men. Not lipstick. You’ll get that all over your husband’s mouth, and he’ll look like he’s been punched in the mouth.

Lip gloss is what I said, but it’s better to have dry lips. That’s because you have more control over your movements and aren’t all over the place like an out-of-control innertube. Yep. Sloppy, big old puppy kisses are for dogs and drooling babies. Your lips need to be dry.

Now you have to have a certain look in your eyes. The look is one of confidence, love, and desire. Desiring your spouse is pleasing to God, which is why He has a whole book of the Bible dedicated to the subject. If you don’t know what book it is, go read your Bible. It starts with the word “song,” implying that this will make you want to sing. You’ll get more how-to ideas there if you have any imagination whatsoever.

Back to the kiss. Go ahead and start kissing him. Your mouth needs to be open, not closed; soft lips, not hard. Do not focus on technique, or it will never be out of this world. This is the key, so pay close attention: you need to inwardly open yourself up completely. This inward opening is called vulnerability, and somehow the kiss is crazy good when this happens. Your husband will find this kind of kiss irresistible, and one thing will lead to another. So make sure your kids are in bed.

The other thing you can do is throw water on it. I’m talking about the kiss. Throw water on the kiss, and it will be wonderful. Yes, I know, I just told you to have dry lips, and that’s true about most kisses. But this is a completely different experience. Ocean waves, a swimming pool, a shower, a lake, or any wet environment will do. You don’t even need instructions for this, since it’s always good. If you’ve never kissed while being surrounded by water, go do it right now. I remember my first wet kiss… It was raining, and my husband pulled me out into the rain and kissed me passionately. I didn’t even care that my watch was being ruined. That was one of the best kisses I’ve ever had.

Clinkerdagger

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

ClinkerdaggerOne of the best dates of all time with my husband would have to be eating at Clinkerdagger. Even though the meal itself was special, it was the events leading up to the date that were a sweet gift from God. It was my birthday, and countless times we’ve done nothing for my birthday. I don’t expect to be honored like most women do. I’m not bratty that way. If my birthday comes and goes, I tell my husband what I want, and he gets it for me. There has never been something I’ve asked for that my husband hasn’t gotten for me, no matter what the cost. Of course, being a tightwad myself, I only ask for things I’ve wanted for a long time, and that is within our price range.

I’d seen women fuming and resentful at their husbands for getting them something stupid for their birthdays. The women mope around and say their men don’t love them. Just so you women know, men can’t read minds. They’re not clairvoyant. So if you want something, tell them. I don’t know what’s so hard about this. But let’s get back to the Clinkerdagger story.

I had gone to a yard sale, and I found a gorgeous evening dress that was a sparkling dark red. Because the yard sale was at a park, there was no way for me to try it on. Having grown up in a third world country, I knew how to bargain, so I said I’d buy the dress for fifty cents. The lady said yes. When I took the dress home, I tried it on, and it fit me perfectly.

We had no money. My husband sold something in his office for $80. Then he went to Costo and got a $100 gift card for $80 for Clinkerdagger. So God supplied the money and made it stretch. We got a babysitter (my parents) and made a reservation.

The reservation was later than we’d hoped for, so we went to the hot tub first. That was at the gym we used to be members of back then, which my husband got a discount for through his work. So whenever we went on a date, we would end at the hot tub. But this time we started there. Hot tubs are wonderful. They relax your muscles, and your body actually feels better afterwards.

So I was changing into my evening gown at the gym, and I hadn’t decided whether to wear sandals or high heels. I asked a random woman in the locker room. She said, “Definitely the sandals.” She raved about how awesome the dress looked and asked me where I bought it. “I got it at a yard sale for fifty cents.” “Shut up!” she said in surprise. I laughed.

When we got to Clinkerdagger, we were seated. I looked around at the medieval decorations. This is definitely my favorite restaurant. Bummer that it’s so expensive. After ordering our food, I went to use the restroom. As I was walking back from the restroom, my husband looked at me. I could tell in his eyes that he really liked the dress.

After eating a delicious meal, I just sat there looking at my husband. The entire date was wonderful from start to finish, a sweet gift from God.
