The relationship expert has discovered that the smallest gesture of closeness could be the secret to a stronger, healthier relationship.
If you’re wondering, this isn’t s**ual s**.
Couples find it hard to be close every day because of their hectic schedules, social media diversions, and family and professional obligations. It’s easy to forget about important relationships.
Many people think that closeness means doing big, romantic things for each other, like going out to fancy restaurants, giving one other surprises, or giving each other expensive gifts. But specialists say that the kind of connection that is really solid is much simpler like J.Lo said, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money.
Small, regular moments of connection are just as important. Mariah Freya, an expert on s** education, wants couples to k!ss more often.
Freya says that Doja Cat and SZA were right when they came up with “K!ss Me Some.” She says that couples should k!ss more often, especially when they feel like they’re losing their spark.
She told MailOnline, “K!ssing is the most underrated tool for relationships.” Couples worry about date nights, if they’re having enough s**, and how to talk to each other, but they’re missing the one thing that would make them happy together.
A 2019 study also looked into the benefits of k!ssing and discovered that k!sses can release endorphins, which are substances in the body that make you feel good and help you relax and feel better.
A study from 2022 found that people who k!ssed more often felt better about themselves and that this was later seen in “the most fulfilling relationships.”
But it seems that couples aren’t k!ssing enough. A 2011 study found that one in five married couples can go a whole week without k!ssing, and when they finally do k!ss, it only lasts around five seconds.
A specialist in relationships says that a lack of appreciation and affection, as well as a lack of k!ssing, are seven things to look out for in a relationship.
Kathy McCoy, a psychologist and relationship specialist, says that couples who are too comfortable sometimes stop doing simple things and behaviors that are important for staying close.
Their research papers say that simple things like holding hands, hugging, cuddling, k!ssing, laughing together, and enjoying ordinary and special occasions could easily go away in relationships.
When one spouse doesn’t feel appreciated, they may focus too much on the other person’s weaknesses. They might often condemn them and blame them for their mistakes, then remind them of those mistakes.
McCoy added that people in successful relationships feel safe and comfortable with their spouse and are okay with how positive and supportive their partner is of them, even if they have flaws.
Flirt with your partner because a k!ss every day can help you stay close.
