It is totally OK to gross out your children. In fact, it is recommended. Kissing each time you pass one another, holding hands in the store and even snuggling on the couch are not only great for your marriage but also great for your children.

When children see love between their parents, it provides a sense of security and protection. It is also a terrific teacher as it shows your children how to love and display affection for one another. Showing love to your spouse isn’t something that should be kept hidden, it is something that should be encouraged.
