Practices That Build Intimacy: A Workbook for Couples

Intimacy responds to practices more reliably than to insight alone. This hands-on course gives you a workbook of practices that couples can run together, from short daily moments to more substantial seasonal investments. By the end of this course you will have a daily connection practice, a weekly date or attention practice, a seasonal getaway or experience plan, a structured conversation routine for deeper topics, and a small set of physical-affection and sexual-connection practices tailored to your partnership. What you will learn: - How to design short daily rituals that build cumulative emotional connection - How to run weekly date or attention practices that survive busy seasons - How to plan seasonal getaways or shared projects that provide novelty and shared meaning - How to use structured conversations to explore values, fears, dreams, and history - How to discuss physical affection and sexual connection respectfully and honestly - How to adapt practices through life transitions such as parenting, illness, or work changes - How to use small repairs to address minor disconnections before they grow The course is structured as a workbook. Each module provides templates, examples, and prompts you can use together. The practices are designed to be flexible rather than scripted. This course is written for couples who want to grow intimacy through practice rather than only conversation about it. By the end you will have replaced waiting for connection to happen with a set of practices the two of you actually run, and the texture of everyday life together will reflect them.
