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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.
