What? Why would you appreciate your husband not kissing you? Ok, I admit to just not understanding.

I think passionate kissing fades after the initial romance period is over.  Heck, a lot fades after the initial romance period is over come to think of it.  Bet you would get similar answers from people who have only been married 5 years or less.  Real day-to-day life steps in......

We've been married for 34 years and we're both 57.  That "spark" has not gone out yet but it probably isn't the inferno it was 30 years ago...lol   We're healthy and still in love and we work at keeping the romance alive.  Neither of has ever wanted to "settled" into a passionless marriage, so we just didn't let that happen.  Yes, we do everything now that we did 34 years ago and enjoy it just as much.  And we do a few things now that we NEVER would have done 30 years ago....lol

       I didn't understand that one either.  If I wanted a loveless, passionless, sister-brother relationship......I wouldn't have married.  Or even dated....lol

We kiss occasionally; we almost always kiss when one of us is leaving for any extended time. But it not the same kind of kissing as the OP described.

We are soulmates after 49 years of marriage, but we still don't know everything about each other. And that's as it should be, IMO.

BTW, I don't think that kissing (no matter whether it's deep or a peck) is necessarily an accurate barometer of a relationship.

I would prefer to live alone than be married to someone I   would not want to kiss me.. I would never settle for a marriage where a simple gesture like a kiss became a chore.

There are all types of marriage. Would be nice if we didn't have to get judgmental about any of them.

Yes, who's to say they are not perfectly content and happy?  Just because it wouldn't work for you, doesn't mean it doesn't for other people. She gave an honest answer to a question that doesn't have a right or wrong answer. 

We don't make out on the couch like we did when we were dating but it's still part of our repertoire. We've been married 2 years.
