Motherhood Moment: Consumer Critique: Kisses 4 Us

My husband and I have been married for fifteen years - so we know each other pretty well. Like with any couple, though, it can be very easy to get stuck in a routine.

I recently had a chance to review Kisses 4 Us, a way for those in long-time relationships to try something new, or for those newly dating to get to know each other better.

The concept is easy - the cards have prompts for couples to follow. Each card explains the type of kiss, and there are also bits of trivia and facts. For us, it was best to use them not in a romantic setting, to see what the other person liked, and then bring it back later during a romantic setting, but every couple will be able to use these the way that fits best for them. I love that there are some "create your own" cards so that if you already know a spot you love to be kissed, you can shuffle that right in the deck for a non-threatening way to communicate it (in case you have trouble verbalizing what you like in the middle of getting physical).

It's appropriate for anytime - anniversary, birthday, or other holidays, and is a cute way to add a little change to the relationship.
