Recently, our teenage son came into the kitchen for an hourly feeding. He caught us in mid-smooch. Groans and "That's soooooo disgusting!" comments were made. Still embracing me, my husband looked him dead in the eyes and said, "Son, you'd better be glad that your mom and I kiss. There are lots of kids out there that wish their parents were together. You are blessed with two parents in the same house that love you, care about you and when needed, light a double burner under your tail to get you moving in the right direction." Wow! My husband is a wise man. That encounter sparked a conversation that in turn led us to this blog about our marriage, life with a teenager and his sister, who is still young enough to be considered angelic.
We are a fun-loving couple that loves to travel and spend lots of time with friends and family. We love the Lord! We believe that we have been given this gift of marriage and we want to honor God by nurturing and caring for our relationship by keeping God at the center of everything that we do. "Our" verse is Ecclesiastes 4:12 "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
We named our blog The Kissin' Couple because it was that kitchen kiss that led us to this spot. Come follow us as we take this journey through life hand in hand, heart to heart, and a kiss or two along the way!
Awesome! I love your blog name, I love this post, and I love your family. I'm excited to read future posts.
ReplyDeleteHey, What a good idea!! And no truer words were spoken! That is the major problem in our schools and families today. The kids do not have a loving family behind them and TWO LOVING parents and consequently they do not exhibit good behavior. Their family is divided and they feel it. Thus they show this frustration by bad behavior. Now that's my take on the situation. Hooray for you both! Love ya. Mom (Smith)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging! From the start ("hourly feeding") to the finish ("hand in hand, heart in heart, and a kiss")...I loved the insights!
ReplyDeleteI really love this blog. I am glad to be a part of your family! Please dont tell Jay that sometimes I brush my eyebrows with his tooth brush when I cant find my eyebrow brush. He did not get another one that afternoon! I can not wait for future posts. I guess you could say that the my eyebrows are as bad as your laundy pile! LOL We all have things we neglect!
