Book excerpt: Early in his career, Dan Beaver discovered that people were never taught how to develop an intimate relationship. We are taught how to read, how to write, drive, play sports, and use a computer. But nowhere in our society are we taught how to develop or maintain an intimate relationship. Most of us learned from TV shows. Some generations were taught by Ozzie and Harriet Nelson or Ward and June Cleaver. Other generations learned from their favorite soap operas, or maybe The Waltons, Cliff and Clair Huxtable, Roseanne, Friends, or 7th Heaven. We now have Desperate Housewives, The O.C., and a multitude of reality shows. Almost everyone learns something about intimacy from their parents, but few had the luxury of learning good skills. Most of us have not. In working with thousands of couples over the past 34 years, Dan heard a common theme from almost everyone: upon committing to a lifelong relationship (marriage, etc.) they were totally unprepared for knowing how to develop and maintain an intimate relationship that lasts a lifetime. Because of his desire to help people, Dan developed a process that enables everyone to create the relationship of their dreams. He delivers information that addresses a major need and fulfills our desire for details on how to have greater fulfillment in an intimate relationship. His passion is to help people; his style is powerful, straightforward, warm, and engaging.--Cover page 4.

Download or read book The Intimate Connection written by Roger Goffeney and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-11-14 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many areas of the world intimacy is a constant way of life. They often feel a sense of intimacy even while washing their dishes or feeding their pets. Teachers also feel a sense of intimacy with their students for the students are teaching the teacher while listening to the words. And especially is it true when they are intimate with their partner in this life experience. Yet this intimacy is not what is promoted by common advertising or any of the media. It is much more. It is a fuller sense of belonging that has no barriers created by saying "I am different from you, therefore, I will treat you differently than you deserve." Our bonding is based on higher principles of recognizing our common origins in the worlds beyond this one. We worship many material gods that keep us from a sense of intimacy. This is unfortunate. How can you connect with another if what you perceive is based on material possessions or relationships? Success in this life is not founded on how much I have gained materially but what I have learned to become intimately. The intimate life or what will be called in this book the "intimate self" is a spiritual experience, though you are free to call it by any other name if you are uncomfortable with that term. It could even be called a religious experience, if by that term you steer yourself away from dogmas or creeds. In this little guidebook, I'm going to present in Parts 1 and 2 some ideas on the intimate approach to life and love, in Parts 3 and 4 some of the elements that make up the "intimate self," and at length in Parts 5 and 6 a closer look at the various elements where the "intimate self" deals with the common problems facing most of us. Finally, in Part 7 will be found an example of an intimate experience with the various elements recommended for a successful intimate experience. This last section may not be for everyone absorbing the material in this book. It is offered merely as a possible scenario for those who are seeking a greater depth in their relationship.
