As a Christian, honoring God is an important part of all of your relationships. But does being part of a God-fearing romantic partnership mean that kissing is totally out of the question? You’ve come to the right place. We’ve taken a closer look at exactly what the Bible does and doesn’t say about kissing, so you and your partner can confidently put God first in all that you do.
Things You Should Know
- The Bible does not state that romantic kissing is a sin.
- Many Christians believe that kissing on its own isn’t a sin, but it can become sinful if it leads to more intimate or sexual acts before marriage.
- Through prayer and discussion, you and your partner can decide if kissing is okay or not.

Community Q&A
- QuestionCan I kiss my crush if we both like each other and agree to take it slow?MAhistorydudeCommunity AnswerWhy not? Just check that they're okay with it. Verbal consent is the clearest, but you can also indicate physically that you want to kiss by looking them in the eyes and slowly moving your face closer. If they want to kiss you, they'll do the same.
