What is wrong with after a hard day at work or with screaming children to just rush home and give your honey a big hug, and kiss. While your at it - include your kids. Kissing and snuggling will make the depression go away. If your partner knew in advance when you came home this was going to happen, you will be greeted at the door with a big smile and wide open arms.

Why is it so hard for us to do this? You must admit this is not the normal way to arrive home. Mostly its I'm tired what's for dinner and I want peace and quiet. Let me watch TV and let me know when it is time to eat. Does that sound familiar - grumpy?

This is such an easy thing to change. Say, "come here honey bunch, open up your arms and give a big squeeze and snuggle." Stop for a moment and appreciate each other. Look into each others eyes before saying. What's for dinner or when do we eat, I am starved.

If there was more snuggling, touching, kissing in this world, we would all appreciate each other more. There would be less wars inside and outside of our homes. We would be happier inside and out and the world will seem a less hostile place to live.

Even If money is tight and all outside entertainment has been cut, when all is said and done you have each other. What else do you need?

Try it. You might like it.
