Sex researchers have found that the body chemistry that ignites a couple's initial attraction to each other starts to wane a few months into the relationship and fizzles out in less than two years. After that, the couple's feelings are less intense and exciting, however, the stability of the relationship affords them the chance to develop their bond and create a deeply satisfying partnership. Emotional Fitness for Intimacy presents fun and effective ten-minute exercises married couples and couples in long-term, committed relationships can do to reconnect for greater intimacy, renew their chemistry, and keep resentment and conflicts at bay. Some of these exercises offer practical suggestions, such as "learn about something new together," while others offer tips for developing more complex relationship skills. This effective and fun-to-read guide makes it easy for long-term couples to rediscover the excitement in their relationships.
