I get it because I used to feel the same way, and I have used those specific excuses many times.  Over the years, I realized that I only felt that way because I was worrying way too much about what other people think.  I also had a very unbalanced view of sex and affection, and I didn’t understand what amazing and enjoyable gifts they are meant to be in marriage.

Have you ever read Song of Solomon?  Be prepared to blush.  It paints a beautiful and sometimes rather vivid picture of a husband and wife intensely desiring each other.  It’s not a hidden, dirty little secret;  it is a clear expression of desire for physical intimacy that shows their deep love and committment for one another. I don’t recommend reading Song of Solomon to your kids at bedtime anyt time soon (unless you are prepared to answer A LOT of questions), but I do think it serves as a great reminder to us that we don’t need to act as if affection and sexual desire within our marriage is a shameful thing.

Okay, I realize some of you are thinking that whether or not you kiss your spouse has no effect on your kids either way because they could care less, but I beg to differ.
