Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.Song of Songs 1:2
Comment
Flirting isn’t just for teenagers. It’s for long-married couples too — the sideways glances, the cheeky text, the shared grin across the room. It’s how we say “I see you, and I still like you.”
Over time, flirting can fall by the wayside — worn down by routine, tiredness, or self-consciousness. But we’ve found that playful affection helps bring a lightness back into the relationship. It doesn’t have to lead anywhere. It’s about enjoying each other.
And sometimes, flirting opens the door to deeper connection — emotional or physical. It reminds us that we’re more than co-parents or housemates. We’re lovers, still.
Reflection
When did you last flirt with each other? Could you bring some gentle playfulness back into your everyday?
Prayer (as a couple)
God, thank you for the spark between us. Help us not to lose sight of joy, fun, and playfulness. Remind us to enjoy each other, not just work alongside each other. Amen.
Prayer (for another couple)
We pray for _____ and _____ — may they rediscover laughter, affection, and the delight of being chosen again and again. Amen.
Final quote
Flirting is not about performance. It’s about presence.
