Creating an Intimate Marriage: Rekindle Romance Through Affection, Warmth, & Encouragement - Softcover

"No one is wiser on the subject of marital intimacy than Jim Burns." --Steve Arterburn Author of Every Man’s Battle "Marriages are ‘made’ not ‘born’ at the wedding altar. Marriages can be intimate and supportive, or distant and destructive. If you want the latter, don’t read this book. Jim Burns offers practical ideas for those who want to create an intimate and supportive marriage." --Gary D. Chapman, PhD Author of The Five Love Languages

"Everyone longs for an intimate marriage. And Jim Burns, after more than three decades of marriage with Cathy, shows us how we can have just that. This is a book with heart. Don’t miss out on its message." --Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott Seattle Pacific University, authors of Love Talk

"In Creating an Intimate Marriage, Jim Burns is not only a trusted counselor but a transparent one as well. Whether your marital fire is slowly fading or has long been extinguished, married couples will appreciate his wisdom and own personal experience in rekindling the spark we all long for with our spouse." --Hayley DiMarco Author of Dateable and Marriable

"Creating an intimate marriage isn’t just knowing what to do but doing what you know. Rarely do we see a book that does both! In a very practical, encouraging way Jim Burns will challenge you to make your marriage a priority and give you the steps to actually do it. This book should be required reading for all marriages at any stage of life. We highly recommend it!" --David & Claudia Arp – Authors of the 10 Great Dates series and Suddenly They’re 13—or the Art of Hugging a Cactus
