Utilizing practical guidelines and invaluable techniques, the proven ten-step program:
?eases couples into working together as an intimate team to confront the guilt, anger, anxiety, shame and inhibitions within no-sex marriages
?encourages the development of the attitudes, behaviors, and emotions that facilitate intimacy and desire and lead to intimate, fulfilling relationships
?empowers couples to increase sexual awareness, build comfort, confront inhibitions, and develop their own broad-based, flexible sexual style
?reveals strategies that integrate intimacy, pleasuring, and eroticism to rejuvenate sexuality, prevent relapse, and energize the marital bond
?provides hope and support to the more than 40 million Americans in low-sex or no-sex marriages.
