Ever notice an affectionate couple and wonder what their secret is? Realizing that simple gestures and interactions count as foreplay adds a special intention to how couples communicate with each other all day long. 14 Days of Foreplay helps couples initiate conversations and interactions that build intimacy. Marriage and family therapists Monica Lieser and Tianna Rooney offer simple, creative strategies to improve the way couples relate on a daily, and nightly, basis. From fully clothed make-out sessions to spilling saucy, appreciative secrets, the activities recommended are designed to suit couples of all ages, whether shy or boisterous. Utilizing the fun and playful gestures of intention proposed in 14 Days of Foreplay will bring a couple closer together in meaningful ways. Lieser and Rooney have created a fun, activity template that invites partners to follow creative suggestions with a playful mindset. Couples guided by 14 Days of Foreplay will truly speak and listen to one another, creating a new frame for insightful understanding and trust. The time spent reading, acting on, and discussing the book’s activities will enrich all aspects of a relationship, including problem solving, expressing emotion, and coping with change, loss, or trauma. Those who invest honesty into the process will be rewarded with the ability to embrace the joys and triumphs of life. Enhanced intimacy and communication are tools for expressing new and changing wants and desires, and for knowing how to listen and turn toward one another even when turning away is an instinctive response. Make the future a priority by investing in 14 Days of Foreplay.
