I always knew kissing was a good thing, but I didn't realize this much about kissing. I ran across this article and thought I would share it with you. I think I could use a factoid or two to justify kissing and its good to know I have a few more boys to kiss before tying the knot!

Hmm. Good information. I particularly like the part that men who kiss their spouse goodbye before work make more money. We should be rolling in the dough.
That's awesome! How fun are those facts? Ya, I wish we were rakin' in the dough, definitely not. Guess we need to start kissin' extra more in the morning. Thanks, those were great!
