‘Learning to listen to the Body’ - intimacy guidance for married couples
Israeli author Dr. Michal Prins is the director of the Center for Jewish Intimacy in Israel in which she offers support in intimacy guidance - guiding couples in discovering a better sex life in long-term relationships. In this informative and beneficial book Dr Prins provides ‘a resource for couples at various points in their married lives. A straightforward resource that would give them the necessary knowledge, normalize what they’re going through, and help them make sense of it all. A resource that would be just as applicable to newlyweds as to couples celebrating twenty years of marriage…A resource that would make the conversation about sexuality pleasant and not coarse, accessible to anyone who wanted to learn.’ And this fine book succeeds in all those parameters. Her approach in is to teach us to listen to our bodies, to our spouses, to ourselves - ‘a journey toward closeness and intimacy, toward the body and pleasure.’
In an accessible manner Dr. Prins provides well researched and documented ideas, offers sound advice (and exercises) about gender, body, a fine history of sexuality, sexual desire or sex drive, what men and women want, and misconceptions corrected - information many if not most couples have needed and wanted is amply provided here. An exceptional book for newlyweds and aging couples delivered with care and compassion. Highly recommended.
