A letter-based guide to intimacy, relationships, and spiritual connection
Presented as letters addressed to a “dear lover,” this guide frames romantic partnership through the author’s concept of spiritual intimacy. David Deida addresses sex, emotional openness, trust, commitment, family, and career alongside questions of choosing a partner, recognizing integrity, and deciding when a relationship should end. The book also introduces “sexual essence” and three stages of loving as part of its model for understanding connection. Practical exercises invite partners to work toward greater openness and what the author calls devotional trust. This 16-point large-print edition offers the same relationship-focused material in a more accessible print format.
