“The Intimate Connection: Secrets to a Lifelong Romance” by Dr. Kevin Leman
I have read several books by Dr. Leman so I was really excited to get his latest book.
“Whether you are new to marriage or have been marries a long time, Dr. Leman’s time-tested strategies will create the kind of exciting intimacy, mutual respect, and fulfilling communication that will keep you in each other’s arms for a lifetime.”
This book includes 13 chapters/”secrets” to lifelong romance, including some bonus sections. The chapters include things like, “Sex is important…but not for the reasons you might think”, “Outside forces have shaped your relationship (without your permission), “For your spouse to truly hear you, you have to talk in a way that encourages them to listen” and “There’s no reason to settle for blah, less-than, or a battlefield”. Don’t those chapters sound really good??!
The introduction from the author was good to read, and specifically spot on for me. “If you’re reading this book, you picked it up because you crave a more satisfying marriage. You don’t want to be just roommates who only intersect over the basic necessities of life…”
I really enjoyed reading the principles in this book and the examples and stories throughout as well. They were really helpful and I’m looking forward to re-reading this book slower so I can implement the marriage secrets in my own 10 year marriage. I highly recommend this book as well as others he has written!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
