Couples seek real intimacy. Yet so few achieve it. The hurdles are especially high for Black couples. Intimacy is fundamental to sustaining a healthy romantic relationship. With true intimacy, partners allow themselves to be open and vulnerable; to discuss emotions, experiences, and needs freely. They rely on each other for safety, both physically and emotionally. In Into-Me-See, licensed therapist Dr. Jeannelle Perkins-Muhammad explores the cultural and personal factors that can make it challenging for Black couples to develop and maintain intimacy. The book’s title comes from a cultural idiom that describes the ability to look beyond the physical and look deeper to see the greater connection to another person. Unique among books on intimacy, Into-Me-See explores specific cultural issues affecting Black couples, including how a history of slavery and the ongoing racism in America have created relationship expectations that often work against intimacy. Other topics include— • The four different levels of intimacy—physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual—that must be addressed to deepen our intimate connections. • The importance of bringing mental and emotional challenges into the open, so that they can no longer sabotage efforts to become more intimate. Real-life stories from Dr. Perkins-Muhammad’s work show how Black couples have overcome the challenges they faced to find the deeply intimate and rewarding relationships we all seek. Whether you are in a brand-new relationship or have been with your partner for decades, Into-Me-See will show you how to take the first steps to a deeper, long-lasting intimate relationship.

"Innerspirations" takes the reader on a journey of the author's self-discovery from pain to triumph through poetry. It edifies and exhorts those feeling hopeless, lost and brokenhearted to persevere in spite of life's adversities; and allowing God's strength to be made perfect in their weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12: 9). We all face adversity in our lives and have our own battles to fight. Transition is not only frightening, but extremely difficult to endure. Yet, when allowing God to lead and guide us into His Truth, the rewards are priceless. The only constant is God and Change-acknowledging and accepting God's Truth is liberating. God's Truth can hurt, but it ultimately heals. Phenessa shares her experiences in hopes of inspiring and healing others.
How to Fall in Love with Anyone by Mandy Len Catron Pdf
“A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).
