Marriage
Pastors and Priests give blessings at the end of a worship service. Prayers of blessing are offered for a couple during their wedding ceremony.
Life is unpredictable and as a result, we need to say our love and show our love daily to our spouse.
When our children were little and we wanted their attention, we would put our hands on both sides of their faces so that they would have to give us undistracted eye contact. Why?

When we were dating we had a kissing contest with another couple who is now on the board of Build Your Marriage.
