Rekindling the flame of romance and keeping it alive over a long-term relationship, is virtually impossible without a foundation of intimacy. In Gateway to Intimacy by Edward M. Gomez, the reader will learn that the key to creating and sustaining an amorous connection is not to be found in pop culture magazine tips, quick fixes, and new tricks, but in the cultivation of intimacy. He writes, “Before, romance can ever reach the bedroom, you must fan the flame of desire with an affair of the heart, mind, and soul. And you do that by developing intimacy.” The common sense candor of that statement is often missed.
The media has greatly impacted our courtship decorum, promoting sex as the litmus of compatibility in the place of developing intimacy. Gomez helps couple’s withdraw from that influence and work together as prenuptials and later as husband and wife to nurture a culture of intimacy. To that end, he introduces Relationship-Building Sex, using the latent powers of genuine passion to restore marital intimacy to the bedroom. Not only does he offer guidelines for this and other practices that enhance relationship bliss, he also provides helpful illustrations, a glossary of terms that advances new insights into authentic intimacy, as well as a list of recommended reading to continue building on the foundation established in this volume.
Gateway to Intimacy opens the door to possibilities that go far beyond rudimentary sexual gratification, Recreational Sex as the author puts it, and reaches for deeper expressions of intimacy between husband and wife. Whether we are aware of it or not, every part of our being is crying out for this deeper connection and Gateway to Intimacy is a great way to begin the journey toward finding it. Informative, encouraging, and practical, Gateway to Intimacy will open an entirely new approach to physical, emotional, and spiritual fulfillment that will leave conventional sex and new, trendy relationship advice writhing in the dust of your forgotten past.
