The Obamas cheered on Olympics-bound Team USA in a basketball game against Brazil last night, but the crowd cheered for someone else. What what happened when the President and First Lady Michelle saw their faces on the big screen at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.:
It's so sweet how in love these two are (and how 14-year-old daughter Malia encouraged the smooch). The President showed that he's just a regular guy who enjoys a little PDA with his wife. And the way Michelle looks down with giddy embarrassment reminds us to let our men squeeze in a public kiss every now and then — it's fun! If the Obamas don't care who's watching, why should you?
With their 20th wedding anniversary coming up this October, we're definitely taking notes on how they keep it together.
Tell us: What do you think of this presidential kiss?

During your wedding ceremony, you promise to take each other for better or worse, in good times and in bad. On the day of your wedding, when you’re more in love than you’ve ever been before, it can be hard to even imagine that you might go through a rough patch a few years down the road that has the ability to break your relationship.
Let’s face it: You’re going to fight. In fact, it can be healthy to fight. But there may be a time when you need to remind yourself why you fell in love your husband-to-be in the first place.
Enter the Fight Box.

Before your big day, gather a wooden box, a bottle of wine (or the alcohol of your choice), and two glasses. Write love notes to each other, explaining your feelings as you prepare to start your new life together as husband and wife. Seal your letter without letting your soon-to-be read what you’ve written.
During the ceremony, place the love notes inside the wooden box with the wine and glasses. Take turns hammering the box shut, one nail at a time, until the box is sealed.
Agree to keep the box sealed until a special anniversary, like your 10th or 20th, unless you hit a rough patch. Then, break open the box, pour the wine, read the letters, and remember what it’s all about!
