Pages : 241
Book Description
Whether you’re newly together and eager to make it work or a longtime couple looking to strengthen and deepen your bond, Eight Dates offers a program of how, why, and when to have eight basic conversations with your partner that can result in a lifetime of love. “Happily ever after” is not by chance, it’s by choice– the choice each person in a relationship makes to remain open, remain curious, and, most of all, to keep talking to one another. From award-winning marriage researcher and bestselling author Dr. John Gottman and fellow researcher Julie Gottman, Eight Dates offers an ingenious and simple-to-implement approach to effective relationship communication. Here are the subjects that every serious couple should discuss: Trust. Family. Sex and intimacy. Dealing with conflict. Work and money. Dreams, and more. And here is how to talk about them—how to broach subjects that are difficult or embarrassing, how to be brave enough to say what you really feel. There are also suggestions for where and when to go on each date—book your favorite romantic restaurant for the Sex & Intimacy conversation (and maybe go to a yoga or dance class beforehand). There are questionnaires, innovative exercises, real-life case studies, and skills to master, including the Four Skills of Intimate Conversation and the Art of Listening. Because making love last is not about having a certain feeling—it’s about both of you being active and involved.

In this anthology of thirteen short stories, twenty-six characters maneuver through life and love while gaining insight into themselves and each other. Encountering the often tragic, sometimes romantic aspects of what really happens behind closed doors, they seek answers to their most pressing questions: Does happily-ever-after actually exist?

Each engaging story offers insights and hints about how to better navigate the journey of love. Sex from the Couch is a reminder that love need not be perfect to be perfectly exciting, irrational, passionate, inspirational, and complicate ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Arlene Krieger has a PhD in clinical sexology and human sexuality.
