The most frequently asked questions I’ve seen on the internet about relationship counseling were:

How many times do you have sex a week?
What values do you share?
Do you fight a lot?

However, one of the most important questions that almost no one asks is this: How often do you kiss?

The answers gave me a lot of information about the connection of a couple, because when there’s a lack of kissing in a relationship, intimacy can quickly fade.

A love relationship involves sexual intimacy—a friendship does not. If you’re married to someone and you’re not sexually intimate, then you’re just friends with that person. And kissing is a very powerful thing in a relationship.

When I talk about sexual intimacy, I’m not just talking about sexual relationships. Kisses are very intimate, especially mouth kisses.

It’s also crucial to make sure when you connect, it’s with a “good kiss.” No matter how busy your life is, the time it takes to be in the moment for a kiss with your partner doesn’t get in the way of your schedule.

Keep in mind that hugs are also great for relationships. I strongly encourage any couple who are struggling with their connection to incorporate hugs into their routine. And if you add kiss + hugs, the relationship thanks you even more!

One of the best things you can do to Keeping the flame of love burning in your relationship is to kiss your partner regularly. And I’m talking about a kiss on the lips—not just a kiss on the cheek, a kiss on the forehead or just a peck. It’s a really long kiss. With passion!
