By HOW TO SPICE UP YOUR RELATIONSHIP: SEX, PASSION, INTIMACY & SEDUCTION IN COMMITTED RELATIONS
By Richard Nicastro, Ph.D.
Why I created How to Spice Up Your Relationship:
So many of the couples I work with desire a passionate marriage or relationship but thought they had to settle for a sexless marriage, or a relationship with little emotional intimacy.
No matter what stage your relationship is in (whether you’re dating, preparing for marriage or have been together for fifty years), sex, passion and intimacy are integral parts to a vibrant and fulfilling union…
…But the sad reality is that too many couples start to neglect this vital part of their marriage or relationship at some point. They wrongly assume that love will carry their relationship along and that passion and intense sexual desire will happen naturally.
The truth is, passion and intimacy are expressions of your love and can make you and your partner feel closer, but, like anything in life, passion and intimacy require effort.
As a marriage or relationship matures, passion, sexual desire and emotional intimacy often do wane—but these vital parts of your relationship don’t have to be lost. With proper care and attention, couples can create satisfying sex lives and a deep emotional connection, no matter how long they’ve been together. You can look forward to a renewed, rewarding connection with your spouse or partner.
In my sex, passion and intimacy ebook, you’ll learn about the dramatic impact that stress can have on passion and intimacy, and you’ll discover easy-to-implement strategies to protect this vital part of your union from the stress in your life.
Over the last twenty years as a psychologist and marriage therapist, I’ve worked with many couples wanting to build a stronger, more vibrant marriage or relationship. And I’ve seen first-hand the emotional pain a sexless marriage and a passionless relationship can cause a couple—feelings of isolation, feeling undesirable, behaving more like roommates than lovers.
I’ve also seen how couples can move a relationship that’s been in a long-standing passion-deficit to one that’s alive with sensuality, passion and intimacy. These couples went from experiencing what appeared to be a “platonic love” to enjoying a “passionate love.”
The strides these couples made led me to write How to Spice Up Your Relationship.
