Men and women seek different elements of intimacy. This book argues
that a failure to understand the opposite gender's intimacy needs
can contribute to relationship distress. Jane Ridley explores
potentially critical periods and turning points in a couple's
relationship, including sexuality, pregnancy, ageing, the impact of
earlier separation and dealing with children from previous
relationships.
