About Bringing Intimacy Back

From the publisher's feed

Looking at our culture, we can see that society is becoming more disconnected. Even though we have technology that connects more people than ever before, there’s still distance. Lack of intimacy is one of the top three reasons why relationships struggle, and often times end.
