DON'T DISMISS THE KISS

Don't Dismiss the Kiss
Steve Wagers
Luke 7; 15; 22


If you want to be happy, healthy, successful, and live longer, give your spouse a kiss before you go to work each day.

That's the conclusion of a study conducted by a group of German physicians and psychologists, in cooperation with insurance companies.

According to Dr. Arthur Sazbo, the study found that those who kiss their spouse each morning miss less work because of illness than those who do not. They also have fewer auto accidents on the way to work.

They earn 20 to 30 percent more monthly and they live about 5 years more than those who don't even give each other a peck on the cheek.

The reason for this, says Dr. Sazbo, is that the kissers begin the day with a positive attitude.

A kiss signifies a sort of seal of approval, offer Sazbo and his colleagues, and they believe, those who don't experience it, for whatever reason, go out the door feeling not quite right about themselves.

Whether you give this study any credence or not, an au revoir kiss every morning can do you no harm.

Before I heard the doctors
Tell the dangers of a kiss,
I had considered kissing you
The nearest thing to bliss.

But now I know biology
And sit and sigh and moan;
Six million mad bacteria,
And I thought we were alone

A next-door neighbor laid a passionate kiss on his wife. Lady asked her husband ''Why don't you do that?'' Husband said, ''I hardly know that woman!''

I heard about one fellow who always went with his wife. He said, ''I would rather go with her than kiss her goodbye.''

A kiss is often an emblem of Affection, Approval, and Appreciation.

(Psalm 85:10) ''Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.''

(1 Thess 5:26) ''Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.''
