An idiots guide to intimacy

This is a wise book that delivers both a clear explanation of intimacy and practical tips to achieve closeness. In a world where an understanding of true intimacy has been lost, this book will act as a practical guide for couples who really want to feel deep connection with their significant other. For counselors it is an excellent resource to enable you to draw couples, and men in particular, into the depth of connection they desperately desire with their partners.

Thank you!

The book "Passage To Intimacy" was wonderfully done. It is helping me in my relationship. I am developing all the skills needed to make it work. It is fun again because we have a new outlook on our points of view. We are actually starting our relationship over and building it to new lengths. I recommend this book to all that want to do it right!

Every relationship should have this book

The concepts in this book have dramatically transformed my relationship! I now understand what went wrong in previous relationships and what is going right now. It's helped by tracing my emotional roots, and helping me determine the assumptions I make in relationships. I would definately recommend this book.

Passage to Intimacy

This book is made of the things that save relationships and make them great! As a marriage and family therapist, I recommend this book regularly to clients and other therapists alike.Easy to read and packed with practical tools for people to use right away, this book is full of the concepts and exercises Dr. Lori Gordon has been testing and refining for over 25 years!I love this book because it focuses on strengths instead of weaknesses and is really a "how to" book instead of "pie in the sky theory." I use it to help people discover what they can do differently as well as to understand their partner's behaviors, but always to help them make something they want actually happen!Applause for Dr. Gordon, and for her elegant simplicity, profound wisdom, and practical help!

Malescan learn to be intimate

I came accross this book in a "Revocery Works" Book Store in Malvern, Pa. The specialize in AA/NA/Sexual Abuse of both chilren and adults amond other conditions such as depression and female self confidence. I've always had a problem being realy intimate with my female partner/lover/wife. (Not al at he same time.) Only after reading this book and completing the short journal assignments was a able to come to grips with just how the lack of intimacy in my relationships hindered the growth and/or continuing of some relationship. But this is not just a book for single men. It was developed for married couples and then spread to single couples and now, just plain singles. Just as I, a member of the big sometimes dumb, male member of the human race so can the female members of the same race gain knowledge and courage from this book. I used the term "same race because, at times, I felt the women i was dealing with were from another planet. God only knows what they felt about me. It's a five star book and i intend to buy 6 copies for my friends. Assuming i can find them
