When a couple stands at the altar and vows to love each other, "Till death do us part," they assume they will be intimately connected forever. The kiss at the end of the ceremony symbolizes that connection. It is the most intimate connection possible between two people, even more intimate than sexual intercourse. A prostitute will tell you that they can have sex with her customers, but cannot kiss them.

The kiss identifies how things are going in a relationship, the core of it. Most couples do not even notice when their relationship starts to change. A lot of times a passionate relationship ends up a friendship over a period of time. All of a sudden they wake up and realize they are more like roommates than lovers. The key is keeping that friend and having them as a lover as well.

A 10 second kiss says "I am in love with you," where a peck on the cheek simply says "I love you." A lot of women have confessed that they have feelings of loneliness and emptiness just minutes after their spouse has come home. If this describes you, here is a foolproof way to get rid of this problem.

The 10 second kiss homework assignment has the quickest and most noticed effect. It will set the tone for the rest of the day, when given in the morning. Likewise, in the evening it will set the mood for the rest of the night. Try this: Grab your spouse tonight and give them a 10 second kiss. If they respond by saying "What's gotten into you?" just tell them, "From now on we are not going to be roommates anymore. We are going back to being lovers!"

Next, let your mate know that you want to try this week long experiment. Everytime you greet each other after being away from one another for a period of time, you have to kiss for 10 seconds. It doesn't matter if you had a bad day or not. If you need to use a timer to see what 10 seconds is like, have fun!

Ten seconds doesn't seem like a long time, but it really is! Usually couples greet each other verbally with "Hi, I'm home" or "Anyone here?" Because there is not a physical response, they are left with isolated feelings. Once you relate to one another physically, those feelings will be replaced with warm, close ones. After the kiss, you can go about your normal routine, but now you will feel connected to one another.
