2. The ‘Controversial Chapter’
In the authors’ initial discussions about Real Intimacy, there were many topics they felt were important to cover. According to the authors, “Too many marriages are struggling and individuals are hurting.” One such relevant topic was that of sexual normalcy, chapter 10 in the book. While the chapter in the book was edited, the original expanded content from this chapter has been taken online. Be sure to visit the Real Intimacy website and subscribe to their e-newsletter list to request this controversial material to see how it effects individuals and relationships, and how it can be discussed.

5. Authors Live on MMM
Modern Mormon Men had this to say about Real Intimacy, “As I was reading, I believe I heard angels singing in the background. With chapters regarding understanding your sexual history, creating conversations, and guilt, shame, and secrecy with sexuality, the therapist inside me sung for joy. These are the topics that need to be written about! These are the honest conversations we need to be having about intimacy! We need frank, direct, open education on how we can be showing up better in our Mormon marriages, and the book does just that. No more divorces over this issue. No. More. Divorces. This book is a blessing to our people, people. A blessing I tell you. Get reading today. I promise it will be a great addition to your book collection.”
