- A kiss is a sign of affection. When you give a kiss to some-
- one, you are telling that person that you have affection for him/her.
- To give that person a kiss if you know that there is no affection is
- to be a hypocrite, it is an action and one that misleads your partner.
- Kisses can also become rote, that is, purely mechanical and without
- meaning. I foun this happening in our marriage many years ago, and
- Elizabeth and I talked it over at the time. This doesn't mean that if
- you are going off to work that your wife shouldn't kiss you goodbye,
- because here she is showing affection. But if you and your wife have
- had a tiff (a small argument), she should not kiss you out of DUTY,
- but wait until a later time and kiss you with affection. What person,
- man or woman, doesnm she has complete trust, and for whom she has
- that special feeling of greatness calWhen I got to campus all I could think about all the
- time was Elizabeth. I had given my heart to her, and I no longer had
- control of my emotions; we had control of me
-
-
- But I asked her to marry me on the grass in the quad at UI in '47, and
- we've been married in love ever since. It all stemmed from a kiss given
- as a sign of endearment, and not a kiss given in duty.
