The inspiration for Stoplights are for Kissing came from The Book of Awesome (by Neil Pasricha) meets1000+ Little Habits of Happy, Successful Relationships (by Marc and Angel Chernoff) and Bonnie's beautiful research.

Whether we’re together as a new couple, in a seasoned partnership, or
looking for that special someone, we want to feel good about our intimate
connections. Too often, work, kids, family, and community obligations
threaten that private, inner space.
In Stoplights Are For Kissing: 52 Small Gestures To Sustain Love In Your
Relationship, author Bonnie Daneker addresses intimacy with her collection of
simple, shareable ideas to keep romance alive. The gift book, beautifully
illustrated by Eevie Lanier, offers easy, repeatable ways to grow closer to your
partner. These gestures of affection, some planned and some surprising, pay
back in multiples over time – unlike a single expected gesture per year – to
create a fulfilling, sustainable marriage or relationship.
