Okay, been thinking ...lol.

I noticed that hubby and I don't kiss as often as we did 'back in the day' and it got me to thinking.

Do you & your hubby (or SO) still kiss, I mean a passionate kiss, tongues & all?

If so, about how often??

AND if not, when did u notice it was happening as often?

AND how long yall been together??

Sorry for all the questions.....I just would like to know.

No, we don't kiss like we used to either. We kiss, but no other body part is involved! I noticed our passionate kisses went to the wayside after I got preggos with my 2nd and she's now 5 1/2. We've been together for 13+ years, married for 10 on the 21st of this month!

Rarely and then it's only during sex. Otherwise it's a peck as he leaves for work. I noticed it several years ago, after we had kids. We've discussed it (as well as other changes in our relationship) and he just considers it part of a mature relationship. I miss that part of our relationship, but wouldn't give him up for the world! I don't want to start over!

We'll be married 18 years in October...dated for almost 4 before that.

Of course we kiss like that, a lot of the time.

I think it takes work to "maintain" a relationship. Every relationship has ups and downs, you just can't let yourself get trapped in a "down".

Lay a big wet one on him tonite and see what happens.

Hardly ever.. I can't even remember the last time we had a "wet one". Good kisses for us usually are ones that last for more than a second, but only on the lips. We've been married almost 13 years, and I noticed it around 11 years ago.

Yes, we do. Big kisses and big hugs several times a day. We have been married 27 years. Honestly, can't image not. We still hold hands too.

Oh my goodness ladies!! Ya'll better get to work on those kisses.........

DH and I have been married 29 yrs., 2 children DD 14 and DS almost 12. We kiss often with a wet one thrown in on occassion.

I agree with the poster 'allinaugust'. A relationship takes a little effort and work.
You've heard the old saying, "the more you get, the more you want"?? This can apply to a lot of things including certain foods, sleep, kisses and sex. Try kissing more and see what it does for your relationship.
Oh yeah, we still hold hands too.

We do it all the time but then again we just started dating 6 months ago

Hubby and I are the same way except we have been married just about 17 yrs. We touch a lot and usually are not in the same room without being near each other. It is nothing that we think about, we just tend to gravitate towards each other.

Gosh, the posts that state there is limited to no passionate kissing are just depressing. I can't imagine not doing that with my partner.

I just wanted to add this: Just because Sally Jo and Billy Bob are passionately locking lips 24/7 and you and your DH or SO aren't, there's nothing wrong with that. UNLESS, you or SO/DH are upset by it. Same as the time the sex thread was on here. Some people are happy with once a month, some couples need once a day. I would not base how much you kiss or don't kiss, how often, deep, long, etc., on someone else's relationship. Some people are not touchy feely, kissy huggy types. It's whatever works best for you.

Well said. I'd not think anything is wrong unless one or both partners are unhappy. No guilt for me to lay on others. We are all different and maybe need to embrace and accept the ebbs and flows of our relationships.

I may not feel as physically as close to my DH at some times as I do at others but we have a very strong attraction to each other that has been through a lot and continues to grow in many ways.

Exactly!!!!

I posted that dh and I don't kiss passionately. Really ever and haven't for a long time. What I should have added is that we are very affectionate (ie.. pats, caresses, small kisses, holding hands, hugs....).

Yeah, this is the situation here, too. While we never kiss passionately anymore, the affection is still there

We're both 60 now and have been married for 29 years.

I will be 62 on Sunday.
DH will be 67 in 2 weeks.
We have been married 30 years.
We are not quite as passionate as we used to be, but still darn close.

Wow, some of these posts have really comforted me.

Hubby & I are close in every sense of the world. As more time goes by I know that we're soulmates. I recently went out to eat with my mom and we saw this couple who passionately kissed multiple times and I guess that's what truly got me to thinking.....BUT a couple of these posts really helped me. Thank you and glad to see some of these veiws on the subject.

You all have my chuckling.

My SO and I hardly ever "wet sloppy passionate kiss" he doesnt' like it and it doesn't bother me. We get lots of pecks in expecially since I will seperate from him without a smooch. We hug lots to if we pass each other one of use ususally grabs the other for a grope. And holding hands that is what he likes the best, even at night when we are sleeping he will reach over and grab my hand when I'm near.

Been together 2 1/2 years and no kis (we are past that stage in life).
