Want to revive intimacy and find deeper connectedness with your partner? Try a six second kiss today.
Lengthening kisses to six seconds could be one key to a better relationship. Dr. John Gottman says six seconds is long enough to make a moment of connection with our partner. It stops the business in your brain and puts your focus on your partner at that moment. Kissing can be a good exercise in mindfulness.
Here are some things a six second kiss can do:
It can build a ritual of connection.
It can create physical touch.
It can be a bid for connection.
If your partner has initiated, then it’s turning towards your partner.
It boosts fondness and admiration.
It builds appreciation between you.
It can increase your love maps of your partner’s kissing style.
It adds to your emotional bank account.
It can boost your positives for the 5:1 ratio.
It can lead to sex.
It can be self-soothing.
It can reduce cortisol (the “stress” hormone) and boost oxytocin (the “love” hormone).
Why not try a six second kiss today?
