This solutions-oriented guide offers problem solving and behavior
changing strategies for people working on their most intimate
relationships. The book provides readers with: enhanced knowledge of
their own and their partners' beliefs, values, habits, desires, goals,
likes, and dislikes; ideas for opening communication and deepening a
relationship; skills for making healthy decisions about lifestyles and
boundaries; an in-depth understanding of the role of self-esteem in
relationships; increased ability to let go of the past and embrace the
present; and the knowledge that it is important not only to choose the
right partner, but also to be the right partner. What distinguishes
Intellectual Foreplay from similar titles is that it includes
guidelines on what to do with the answers it gives. This makes it useful
in both creating and sustaining a relationship.
