Journey Toward Intimacy: A Handbook for Couples
A collection of spoken and written exercises invites you and your
life-partner to explore erotic promise in your relationship by being with
each other in radically simple ways, without fantasies, techniques, or sex
toys.
"These verbal exercises demystify a highly personal topic and point the way
toward increasing sexual energy, especially for people in long-term
relationships. I applaud this work."
Kitty LaPerriere, Ph.D.
Past President, American Family Therapy Association
"Journey Toward Intimacy excellently compliments the work of marriage and
family counselors. It is the best example of 'homework' in the field."

"This remarkable handbook offers more than simply exercises to heighten
sexual intensity and satisfaction for couples. It provides a focus that
deepens emotional, mental, and physical connections."

"This insightful workbook offers couples the potential for growth and
renewal. Dr. Shaw's focus on respectful authenticity and
self-responsibility in intimate partnerships also makes this a useful
adjunct to couples therapy."

"...These creative exercises encourage couples to stay in relationship
while each partner develops the courage to be deeply sexual with the other.
We recommend it without reservation to anyone who wants to improve
intimacy..."

"I would encourage any couple who cares about each other to use this
handbook as a tool to increase sexual enjoyment and ability to communicate
more effectively and willingly about anything!"
