Written by three colleagues from The Healing Group,  the book Real Intimacy is just that — real.  With unembarrassed candor, Kristin B. Hodson, Alisha B. Worthington and Thomas G. Harrison provide information, counsel and advice for married couples looking to find or re-kindle intimacy.  It is not your typical “Mormon intimacy book.”  The authors, who are LDS, felt the time had come for a straightforward and honest conversation about what most people are hoping for, but end up in therapy or divorcing or in intimacy-starved marriages because they don’t know how to achieve it — true marital intimacy and “oneness.”
