There's a lot of love in country music. Our favorite artists don't hide their feelings. Couples like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, and Kane Brown and his wife, Caitlyn, have been known to kiss in public. From award shows and red carpets to shows and everyday life, country music is all about love.
National Kissing Day is celebrated every year on June 22. The day gives couples an excuse to show their affection (not that they need an excuse, of course), but kissing isn't just for romantic partners.
Kissing is a sign of affection that can be used in many situations. A mother might kiss her child to ease the pain of an injury. In ancient times, kissing someone's feet was a sign of deep respect. In some cultures, a kiss or two on the cheek might be used to greet someone.
According to NationalToday.com, the holiday is a great opportunity to express yourself and improve your health: They claim that kissing “relieves stress, burns calories, and boosts the immune system.”
The history behind the kiss
According to the site, kissing was first recorded in some sources in India around 1500 B.C. This form of kissing involved rubbing each other's noses without using the lips, and the first recorded instance of lip-smacking was in 326 B.C., after the death of Alexander the Great.
