Sacred Intimacy, AUTHOR: Brenton & Margaret Yorgason, CATEGORY: LDS Non-Fiction/ Marriage

Intimacy. What is it? Contrary to what the tabloids might have us believe, achieving true intimacy with another person is a multifaceted endeavor. Intimacy is the compelling desire and need to be linked to, or connected with, another person. And this linkage can occur in several ways.

Authors Brenton and Margaret Yorgason suggest that intimacy goes beyond the physical closeness a man and a woman can share. Physical intimacy in marriage, as important as it is, is superficial until elevated to the status the Lord intended.

In this enlightening and inspiring book, the authors examine the five facets of intimacy that can make or break a close relationship, and ways couples can:

• improve their communication
• deepen their bond with each other
• overcome misunderstandings
• deal with their inherent differences
• overcome barriers that can block development of the marriage relationship
• learn how to make their union as fulfilling as possible.

Every relationship has challenges and obstacles. Yet by developing the ability to be close emotionally, spiritually, and physically, a couple can forge a union that will be nearly unbreakable and that can ultimately be sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise.

If you’re interested in strengthening your marriage, in making it as fulfilling and meaningful as possible, this book is a must.
