A kiss = a powerful connection

Something I've learnt in our short 7 months of marriage is how quickly you can feel out of touch with this person who you're absolutely in love with. Just a short 5 days of sickness with minimal kissing {we were trying to keep our germs to ourselves this round} and busy schedules and you can end up feeling disconnected {never mind my day of being an outright over the top crank). I hate this.

I never understood how people could say they just grew apart.
But.
I think I get it now.
Just these 5 short days made me feel an ache for a reconnection.
I couldn't image that feeling extended over a longer period of time.
{This doesn't take into consideration a long distance relationship, mind you. We did that for 3 months during our engagement season and we, of course, were able to stay connected}.

So. After some talking it out we decided we won't have it.
We recommitted our attention to affection and connection again tonight.
Because it was needed.
Because it's always needed.
I'm know it to be true that this relationship deserves more attention, care, affection, devotion, nurture, and love than any other relationship I've ever had.
God has given us this relationship for His Glory. So. Shouldn't we honor Him in this way? By taking care of this covenant we've made to one another.
I think so.
And I'm committed to do this.
So is the Husband.

And then. Last night. After 5 days {which felt like an eternity} that's exactly what we did.
Reconnected.
With an evening of cuddling in bed.
Wrestling.
Making cookies {which totally flopped by the way. Well the first batch. 2/3 cups flour instead of 2 2/3 cups. Oops).
Talking.
Kissing {of course!}.
Holding hands.
More Talking.

I love talking to this man. He's the one I've chosen to talk to every day for the rest of the days our Lord gives us.
