New York Times best-selling author Matthew Kelly delivers a practical guidebook for creating and sustaining intimacy. He reminds us that genuine love and intimacy flow from diligent effort and self-sacrifice and ultimately lead to life's greatest joys. Intimacy progresses slowly. It starts with the sharing of clichEs, facts, and opinions. It then gradually lets us reveal our hopes, dreams, feelings, faults, fears, and failures. And, ultimately, it allows free discussion of our legitimate needs.
