Some of my favorite relationship books and ideas:
Esther Perel’s Mating in Captivity will get you thinking and talking about the challenges of long-term intimacy, which I think is a very good thing. http://estherperel.com/
I really like Dr. Schnarch’s method of sex therapy (which is also intimacy therapy, and overall growth therapy.) He’s got books so you can try it at home, so to speak. http://www.passionatemarriage.com/mt_schnarch.shtml
Sue Johnson, founder of emotionally-focused therapy, has a self-help book out now called Hold Me Tight. She says that we all need strong, secure bonds with our partners, and she has good ideas for how to get there. http://www.holdmetight.net/
