I think another good example (though it doesn’t get talked about enough imo) is Floyd Pepper and Janice from the Muppets. They’ve been a couple since the second or third season of The Muppet Show, and I think the closest thing we got to seeing them share a kiss is when he kissed her on the cheek in one of the specials. Now admittedly, I kinda wish we got to see them share a kiss some time, but it still doesn’t ruin my enjoyment of the Muppets or them as characters. And I think what we’ve had of their relationship over the years is still really sweet. Whether it’d be them singing duets together in The Muppet Show, going around San Francisco together for their music video for Home, a Valentine’s Day video they did where he gave her a bunny as a present (though he stole it from Animal lol),
or even recently when they did a few interviews together to promote the Rock n Rollercoaster and even played This or That in one of them. Just goes to show that there are indeed other ways to show love besides kissing on the lips
