Do you kiss your spouse often if you're married? It turns out kissing is much more important to your relationship than you might think. Do you ever notice that making out with your partner makes you feel better, even excited? The most important thing about kissing is that it brings people closer together. Do you remember the famous 1990 movie Pretty Woman? It was a big hit at the movies. Julia Roberts worked as a "lady of the night," which is one of the oldest jobs in the world.
In the movie, she never kissed anyone on the lips, which was her one rule for all her dates. She didn't kiss anyone because she thought it was too close. A survey reveals that men care more about who they kiss than who they sleep with when dating.

A kiss means much more to a woman than it does to a man because women use it as a measure of their self-worth. Someone who thinks they are attractive might not need kisses as much as someone with low self-esteem or who thinks they are unattractive. To them, it means they are attractive outside the bedroom and in everyday life.
Most married couples kiss on their way out the door in the morning, but this becomes more of a habit than anything else. It's the same as when you leave and grab your cell phone and coffee. But it does a lot of good things for your body that you don't see. In fact, puckering up has these benefits:
- The rush of blood you get from a kiss can help heal spots on your face and dermatitis.
- This physical encounter releases chemicals in your body that raise the heart rate to over 100 beats per minute, which can be as good as working out.
- Your lips are much more sensitive than the tip of your finger, and when you kiss someone, you stimulate all the important nerves in the body.
- Passionately kissing someone uses an amazing 29 muscles in your face, which might help reduce wrinkles. If you want to keep your skin tight as you age, you might need to pucker up more.
- Even though it's gross to think about, when you kiss someone, you share saliva. This is better for you than you might think. It can help you build a strong immune system that can keep you healthy and protect you from getting sick.
- People who kiss every day live up to five years longer than those who don't.
