I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.

Sex is the most beautiful thing that can take place between a happily married man and his secretary.

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.

Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.

There is not enough celebration of companionship. Relationships aren't just about eroticism and sexuality.

Intimacy seems to be one of the major highs of life, whether it's getting to know yourself in a deeper way, or your partner, or the world and the society that you live in.

Infidelity raises profound questions about intimacy.
