The Joy of Intimacy: A Soulful Guide to Love, Sexuality, and Marriage

really great book, will definitely be reading it again! very thought provoking, well-written and well-organized, and full of invaluable insight and advicehighly recommend!

Very practical and to the point. It really points out the difference between love and intimacy. In American society there is a huge focus on love as the key component in a relationship. Manis Friedman does a phenomenal job in help people to understand that intimacy is what keeps use connected in our marriage and romantic relationships. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking deeper relationships.

A good read for anyone seeking answers to questions about relationships. I bought this book because I felt that I was lacking a foundation in my journey towards finding a positive and long lasting relationship. After reading this book I can say that I have a better direction of what I want in a marriage.

This book explains why porn relationships do not last. Because they lack the intimacy that we all desire. God made us male and female so we can be joined together in HIm.

Not all of the writings apply to Christianity but a good proportion does. I highly recommend this book. Read it!

was very helpful has alot of insight

This is a wonderful book full of truths. It would be so great if every young couple had this book to read.

After listening to Rabbi Manis in an interview with Peter Santenello, I found myself wanting to dive deeper into understanding intimacy. In a time when dating culture and relationships are anything but simple, Rabbi Friedman offers wisdom and clarity of an interesting and sometimes humorous perspective. Wisdom certainly comes from our elders if we the youth are willing to lend our ears.

Uso personal

Best of the best! This Rabbi is youth enough to talk to youth and elderly in age to talk wise to us all! I at first bought for admiring him and being in contact for a further interview but afterwards the reading went a pleasant experience and I will apply 100% in my kosher relationship! Everyone shall read, it is a life change for love and intimacy! I love all he does and seems HaShem is with us all the moment when you open Rabbi Mannis books! Believe me this is one of the best books I ever read!

Practical suggestions and insightful teachings on the spirituality of intimacy. I learned a lot, now to put it into action.

As someone who is definitely not a Jew, i can say that this brought some perspective and a view that REALLY is never seen or heard.For that i can really appreciate it and even tho i disagree and don’t like some aspects,I would recommend it and I myself will take something from it for the future.(I had no problems with the packaging)

The ideas in the book are refreshing, eye opening and life changing. I believe this is one of those must read and shared books. It is so well written, the topic is handled beautifully, and it is difficult to put into words how good the joy of intimacy really is. Just know you will not be disappointed.
