It doesn't matter whether I was playing around with an idea, faxing a new article, writing for a monthly magazine column, or dedicating my time to a full fledged book - whenever I talked about lasting romance and passion with women or men, the topic of sex and intimacy always seems to come up. Everyone wants to know how to make things better in their relationships. They want it to be good in and out of the bedroom. We want more romance, more passion, more intimacy, greater emotional support and clearer communication. When it comes to finding the best ways to enhance the relationship, it's not always as easy as it sounds.
People see getting married as the ultimate road to finding intimacy.
Everyone knows that any relationship worth having requires generosity and large doses of dedication and attention. Women want to hear that dedication and devotion in a marriage are not complicated, that it's a lot simpler than getting the kids to pick up behind themselves. What couples really want is a relationship that's strong, nurturing, intimate, and filled with connectedness. I understand now that emotional and sexual intimacy in any relationship is complex. There's a lot of mystery to it, but it can be tapped into if you are dedicated and pay close attention.
