How often do you KISS your spouse??

[Corie]

How many times a day do you kiss your spouse?

How many times is it a peck or quick kiss versus a "really good"
movie kiss?? :)

We are pretty kissy and affectionate. Usually I get a really good one when we wake up in the morning before we get the baby up. Then when we leave for work it is about 50/50 peck/real kiss, it depends on whether or not the neighbors are outside. Then there is usually a peck when we get home from work. Then a really good one after we get the baby down to sleep and another really good one before bed. Sometimes there are more depending on what we do at night (wink wink) but that is the bare minimum.

I one time saw a sex therapist on tv and he said that the worst thing married people can do for their love life is give pecks. He said that every kiss doesn't need to be a french kiss, but it should be more than a peck. He said that it keeps everyone thinking more about intimacy in the marriage and improves your love life. Now I don't agree that a peck is the "worst thing" you could do, but we do try to keep the pecks to a minimum and commit to good kisses whenever there isn't an audience.

Wow!!! I am totally impressed with all that kissing!!! :cheerleader1:

Thanks, it is actually something I make an effort on because DH and I have been together for 11 years and I worry about losing the passion.

[JoyNChrist]

Quite a lot, although more quick kisses than the really good stuff. ;)

DH tends to initiate kissing more than I do. I'm more of a hugger.

[TwinFoxes]

I don't see him in the morning during the week. He used to kiss me goodbye, but it would wake me up, so he doesn't anymore. We kiss when he gets home. Lots of pecks throughout the evening. Usually at least one "real" kiss when the kids go to sleep. We're kind of a kissy household, the girls like to give us kisses too. :)

[crl]

A few pecks per day. Good kisses varies a lot. Some days none, others lots. I'm not touchy feely with other people, but I really like hugs and kisses with dh. :)

Same here.

I was thinking about this topic earlier this week, just because we've been so busy lately and I think that our affection has gone way down. I definitely need to make more of an effort!

[MamaSnoo]

We really need to make more of an effort on this. I would say 2 pecks a day. I have not had a real kiss in a couple weeks. :bag

I'm in the same boat. I have to be more mindful of this.

Yep. This sounds like an easy and fun New Years Resolution. Make sure to get one really good kiss and several little ones a day!!!

wow.. you are so good. I am embarrassed to write my count

[mamicka]

Several quick ones daily & about 80% of the time a really good one daily.

[Twoboos]

Peck when leaving for work, peck when home, peck before bed.

Oy. That's tragic. We need to work on a few things, here.

[wendibird22]

Used to kiss goodbye every day and then before bed. Well, getting two kids and ourselves out the door in the a.m. had ruined the goodbye peck. We do still give a goodnight kiss more often than not.

[SnuggleBuggles]

Probably 1-3X/ day. Real good kiss? Once every few days.

Us too.

This is us. A "good" kiss almost always leads to other things, so we have to be "mindful" of how kissy we are when the kids are up! ;)

[mommylamb]

We're pretty frequent kissers over here. Can't say exactly how much, but I enjoy a nice smooch.

[salsah]

pre-kids, we would really kiss (not associated with sex) at least 4 times a day (morning, before leaving for work, after work, before bed). we would also throw in pecks all through out the day. now, post-kids, real kisses are rare. they happen, but usually only when one of us is initiating sex so i don't think that those count. when not initiating sex, maybe once a week, once a month, . . . not enough. pecks are also down to about 4 per day. so sad.

thanks Corie, i'm going to make a point to kiss dh more.

[Dream]

:yeahthat: If I get irritated at something I'm so not in the mood even for a kiss. And lately he's just being annoying me more and more. Or maybe its the hormones.

[megs4413]

my DH is the most affectionate person I've ever met in my life. I actually had to ask him to stop making me kiss him every time we passed each other in the house. It honestly gets annoying when I have to stop to slow dance and make out with him while i'm on my way to do dishes....KWIM? cute and all, but not when it's 4 or 5 times a day.

[MamaKath]

Not often enough. We work different shifts during the week and have different days off. I keep trying but he's clueless when he's tired and vice versa. Does not bode welltowards building affection between each other unfortunately. :(

[bcafe]

A really good kiss when DH gets home from work, after he has greeted the kids and the dog. I think it is good for the kids to see their parents be affectionate with each other.:)

[american_mama]

Everyone seems to kiss a lot to me! I am sure there are days we don't kiss or peck at all. I'd say we peck once most days and have a good kiss maybe 4ish times a week. It's not associated with any time of day or any ritual; I like to kiss when the mood strikes and would rather not bother with pecks.

[srhs]

Well, as much as I am all for affection in marriage, I'll be open and admit I have really started disliking french kisses the last few years. Like a lot. And it's not that DH changed his style. Just a total aversion...very similar to the sudden and lasting aversion to shrimp I developed with second pregnancy, lol. I like good passionate opened mouth kisses, but tongues to yourselves. Bizzaro, right? Poor DH.
Lots of pecks and such though along with greeting one another and departing.

[MoJo]

PER DAY? I think you'd probably have to go to per month to be able to count them.:(

:yeahthat: except probably longer onthe real kiss part...i'm a germaphobe and prefer it when he has brushed his teeth

[deborah_r]

Now this I can identify with. Doesn't help that DH is a smoker.

[boolady]

DH leaves pretty early in the morning...either two or three hours before DD and I leave, and either one hour or two hours before I even get up. We always have a nice hug and kiss before he leaves, because I insist on telling him to be careful 50 times. It's not a peck, but it's not anything too involved...I just want to get back to sleep. Sometimes we'll give each other a kiss when we get home from work, b/c if we give DD a kiss hello, we try to do the same. We always kiss goodnight, sometimes a peck, if one of us is 1/2 asleep, sometimes better than a peck. :)

A "good" kiss almost always leads to other things,


This is always my husband's intent...

This is why I don't give my husband more than a peck very often. If it is more, then he really thinks that a lot more is going to happen. I'd love to "just kiss" my husband but that doesn't usually happen ;)

[salsah]

thanks to this thread, i greeted dh at the door with a kiss when he came home from work yesterday. he just gave me a peck as usual so i grabbed him and gave him a real kiss. of course he had a big smile on his face, his eyes lit up, he thought that i was horny. as soon as the girls fell asleep, he gave me his "so . . . aren't we going to have sex" look.

Definitely! If the kiss lasts too long, my husband's hands
start to roam!!

that's my dh too (since having kids). if he kisses me (more than a peck), then i know that he wants more.

[pastrygirl]

I wish it were more! But we use NFP, so can't get too kissy 3 out of 4 weeks. (How long til menopause??) So, mostly pecks for now. We're very affectionate, even with the kids. Tons of kisses for the kids, all day long! I'm definitely not touched-out.
