Dr. Lori H. Gordon, the marriage and family therapist who has been revitalizing love between couples through her nationally acclaimed 16-week PAIRS program, shows readers in Passage to Intimacy how to develop the necessary skills that create deeply fulfilling relationship.Hidden expectations, miscues, and a lack of knowledge about the affection, physical closeness and emotional bonds that sustain intimacy are only a few of the relationship "landmines" that can destroy a couple on their road to intimacy, according to Gordon.Passage to Intimacy includes key elements and basic tools from Gordon's successful course: role-playing, self-assessment exercises, insights from other couples' experiences -- all to enable couples to have a closer, more loving relationship.
