Rottie, when my W and I ML, my favorite thing to do was to bury my face in the spot between her shoulder and neck, just below her ear, and nibble my way up to her mouth. I looked in her eyes on occassion, but we both usually had ours closed. I wouldn't put to much stock in your H not looking into yours.
