I often hear from women struggling with intimacy changes in their marriages. Recently, Vera shared her story. She and her husband once shared passionate kisses that made their lovemaking deeply connected. But over the past year, he stopped kissing her altogether, leaving her feeling insecure and wondering if he’d lost attraction.
Vera’s concern is common. Kissing is one of the most intimate forms of connection, and when it fades, it can feel like a wall between partners. There are many possible reasons: emotional distance caused by stress or conflict, slipping into routine, physical issues like oral health concerns, insecurities, or even shifting preferences in intimacy.
The good news is, couples can reignite this spark. Start small—gentle kisses during daily moments, without pressure. Create a romantic atmosphere free of distractions. Experiment with different types of kisses—slow, playful, or passionate. Use positive reinforcement by expressing how much his kisses mean. And don’t overlook oral hygiene, as confidence often plays a role.
With patience, communication, and small steps, couples can rebuild kissing into a natural, joyful part of intimacy again.
