The 6 Second Kiss Hack Could Save Your Relationship

Author Bob Bronson

There’s tons of hacks all over the internet, every thing from how to ripen an avocado quickly or how you can use Ivory dish soap to make your granite shine like new. You can find hacks that will save you money and time, but here’s one you probably have never thought of the 6 second kiss hack.

Hey, as far as hacks go, this one could lead to a lot more fun and romance. Which is better than a hack that will restore the luster of your counters. This hack will restore the luster of you and your significant others original feelings of love.

Seal the deal with the 6 second daily kiss

Have you seen the six-second kissing hack that’s supposed to be good for your relationship?  It’s in the news after the Associated Press did a thing on it.

A place called The Gottman Institute came up with it based on how long it takes to trigger the release of oxytocin.  That’s the “love hormone” that helps us bond with babies, pets, and each other.

A quick peck won’t do it.  It has to be a full six seconds.  They say if you do it every day, it can make you feel more connected, increase oxytocin levels, and reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

The other option is a hug.  But they say it takes 20 seconds of hugging to achieve the same level of connectedness you get from a six-second smooch.

The only time they wouldn’t suggest it is if you’re at each other’s throats, and it would feel forced.  It works best when it’s authentic, and you WANT to do it. 
In that case, it would be better to “hug it out “ with the hopes that you can stop the stressing and start kissing again.

We hope that you find this advice to be useful but, either way, what can be so wrong about a 6 second kiss or 20 second hug to get you back on the right track?

Bob is a native New Englander, growing up (sorta) in Maine where his love for radio started at a young age. While in high school he hosted radio shows on a local radio station, and he has never looked back. Bob joined the US Navy and served onboard the Sixth Fleet Flagship as a radio and TV host. After serving for 3 years, it was off to Emerson College in Boston. Bob hosted shows in Boston on WMEX, WVBF and WSSH in the 80’s and 90’s before heading to radio stations in Raleigh, NC, Manchester, NH, and New York City. Bob has been married for almost 25 years to Carolyn, a Woburn gal and they have 3 daughters, Nicole, Taylor, and Bridget. Bob and Carolyn are proud first-time grandparents to baby Caroline, who they plan to spoil every chance they get! “I started my career in New England and could not be happier to come back to Boston where I can root for all the Boston sports teams and eat lots of lobster rolls and clam chowder (okay not lots)… It is an honor to host the WROR morning show with LBF and wake up the World’s Greatest City!” Bob writes about recipes and restaurants, pop culture and trending topics.

The Top 9 Biggest Reasons Your Love Life Is In The Toilet

A new survey asked people what has contributed to their failed relationships . . . and asked them to check all that apply.

A couple as beautiful as Tom and Gisele weren’t built to last

On paper you would think that a beautiful power couple like Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen would be built to last. I mean after all, weren’t they made for each other? Both at the top of their game literally.

What chance do mere mortals like us have if they can’t make it for the long run?

It’s not easy to find your long term partner

In these days of multiple dating apps and bars and breweries on every corner one would think that finding your soulmate would be a lot easier than ever before. We wonder if it is almost too easy to find someone to date because of the easy availability of potential partners.

Too many options?

In these days of multiple dating apps and bars and breweries on every corner one would think that finding your soulmate would be a lot easier than ever before. We wonder if it is almost too easy to find someone to date because of the easy availability of potential partners.

 

But finding a long lasting relationship may be harder because of these same factors.  It’s just like anything else if it’s too easy to move on then you probably will.

Survey says!

A recent survey asked single people in the dating world why they have recently broke up with someone. The answers were numerous, for this we have narrowed it down to the nine biggest reasons relationships were ended.

  • 9. Being Too Messy - 25%

    Nobody likes to live with a messy person, unless you too are messy. If their car is messy, than it’s a good bet that their house is too.

    MESSY ROOM

  • 8. Being too talkative -31%

    You can talk too much as it turns out. That means the person is always talking and never letting the moment breathe, plus, who wants to watch tv with someone who won’t be quiet?

    TALKING

  • 7. Not liking specific food - 35%

    We imagine that this means not just one type of food but more of a sub group of food. If you’re a vegan, you probably don’t want to date a master griller and vice versa.

  • 6. Poor manners - 38%

    If you have poor manners it will eventually be revealed, maybe at a restaurant with how you treat your server. Being rude is a deal breaker for sure.

    RUDE

  • 5. Being too obsessed with their pet - 40%

    For pet lovers this is hard to imagine, but not everyone loves the fur babies, and if you don’t then it might present a problem, let’s be honest, you’re probably not compatible anyway.

    MAN AND DOG

  • 4. No sense of humor - 41%

    We would think that if you don’t have a sense of humor than you should probably find a kindred spirit and not have to worry about fake laughing or not laughing at all.

    BAD DATE

    Bad date. Young woman feeling bored during dinner at cafe, unhappy with her boyfriend, disinterested in conversation. Stressed couple having difficulties in relationship, arguing in coffee shop

  • 3. Poor hygiene - 42%

    We are not sure why this is not the number one reason that relationships fail, after all how could you get past poor hygiene in the first place?

    STINKY

  • 2. Overuse of social media - 42%

    This isn’t reserved for just millennials or gen x’ers, every age group has people that are obsessed with social media and it would get tiresome seeing someone with their nose buried in their phone at all hours

    ON PHONE

  • 1. Clinginess - 43%

    We have a ‘stage 5 cling on!” Clinginess is the number one reason for failed relationships for good reason, who wants to be clung too all the time? We all need our space and if you’re getting it from the person you are dating, you will make the space sooner or later. Don’t cling on too tight!

    HUG
