40 Forms of Intimacy: Integrating Daily Connection Into Your Couple Relationship

Relationships are complex. Sometimes couples don’t know what went wrong or how to begin fixing it. And people’s perceptions about the quality of their romantic relationships strongly affect many other areas of their lives. So, the most important relationship is always worth investing in.

Intimacy is more than sexual engagement. This intimacy guidebook helps couples:

-Expand their awareness of couple intimacy

-Build intimacy fluency as they pay attention to their connection

-Experience a deeper sense of closeness in their relationship.

Single people as well as couples who are just launching their relationship, who have been together many years, and who feel distant and stuck in conflict cycles will all benefit from this groundbreaking approach to learning the DNA of healthy, intimate relationships! The 40 Forms of Intimacy book provides a realistic, strengths-based approach to help couples become and stay closely connected in the specific ways that work for them. Readers will learn how to live the language and lifestyle of intimacy and experience oneness through a variety of expressions.

There is no specific pathway that applies to all relationships. Since everyone responds differently to the various expressions of love and intimacy, the insights found throughout this book are designed to help couples personalize their bond rather than following a prescribed list of steps. The author has identified 40 significant areas that couples face together including trust, sex, finances, communication and many more, all of which provide multiple opportunities each day to leave couples feeling either distant or connected. This in-depth examination of couple intimacy will help couples draw awareness to the many ways they are already connecting. And they will learn many new areas in which they can enhance their couple intimacy.

“Knowledge and familiarity are knowing about. Intimacy is knowing throughout. Intimacy is an ongoing process of knowing each other and sharing life together.” – Alex A. Avila
