Is it considered adultery to kiss another man if you’re married? Thanks.

The Catholic Catechism defines it: **ADULTERY: **Marital infidelity, or sexual relations between two partners, at least one of whom is married to another party. The sixth commandment and the New Testament forbid adultery absolutely (2380; cf. 1650).
So, it seems it would depend on your mental attitude (is it faithful?) while doing so.

A peck on the cheek is always fine, or a gentlemanly kiss on the hand, or similar.
Anything involving the lips (unless you’re from a family that ALWAYS kisses on the lips - there are some - and you keep it in the family) isn’t on. Tongues in any circumstance are definitely out.

Why are you kissing this man? Are you romantically attracted to him? If so, then it is adultery.
It is all about motive.

No doubt in my mind that, if you are currently married, it would be sinful to intimately kiss any man that isn’t your husband. I don’t know if I would go so far as to call it adultery, but it certainly puts you at the risk of committing adultery when you intimately kiss someone other than your husband. Guarding your thoughts against adultery during and after the kiss would be darn near impossible in my opinion. Best to flee and run like the wind! Pray to St Michael while you’re running!

It is infidelity. The fact that you are wondering speaks that it has crossed the boundary of marital fidelity. If in doubt, cast it out.

As several have pointed out there are kisses and then the are KISSES. Also the reason for the kiss would be an important component. There are innocent reasons and there are absolutely non-innocent reasons.

Oh, and what would your husband think if he saw you do that?

You kiss a child, you KISS your spouse.

My husband doesn’t like to KISS me. lol We’ve had a rough marriage due to his many rages and tantrums for the past 16 years. I’ve had alot of unhappiness with him. I’m trying to be strong though. He’s roughed me up many times and it’s hard to look at someone like him and want to KISS him. Pray for me and thanks for your responses.

If your husband is “roughing you up” as in being physically violent you need to get help. Be strong enough to do that. You are not helping him by allowing you to treat you this way. And you are endarngering yourself. You don’t say if you have children but if you do it is your duty to protect them from this kind of enviroment.
I will pray for you.

Regardless of his liking or not liking to KISS, KISSING another man while you are married, is wrong.
As far as how you are being treated by your husband, you don’t have to take that. You have a choice. Don’t say that you don’t.

You need to talk to your priest about this, about what is going on in your marriage if you are being abused. Getting involved with other man is not what you need to be doing now.

Jesus defined lust in your heart as adultery.
I am willing to bet that physical lust is most definitely adultery.
God Bless!

Kissing another man is not technically adultery, but neither is it WISE.
I know someone who has directed community theater for years. Sometimes a scene will call for a kiss. If the actors are married to eachother, the kiss proceeds just as in the script. If they are both single, the kiss proceeds just as in the script. If either of the actors are married, not to each other, they don’t kiss.
If you don’t start down the wrong path, you don’t end up in the wrong place!
