As a Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in working with couples, I am thrilled to discover a resource that attempts to help partners find a way to transition from the busy schedules of a normal day - into an environment more conducive for intimate connection with your spouse.

Quickies can do just that - but it will also do a lot more.

The challenges don't just focus on technique or positions like far too many other resources do. These cards help couples create an environment that is warm, inviting, playful, or novel - then they help set the stage for the connection that follows. Best of all, they are designed to help couples transition in unique ways from everyday life to more intimate moments of deeper connection.

When it comes to how couples usually transition from daily life to the area that encompasses our sex life, far too many of us fall easily into the trappings of "doing what worked last time." Quickies can help you to explore the whole process of your intimate lives together -- how you begin, what you can do in the middle, and even how it all ends.

These cards can add playfulness, curiosity, tenderness and novelty to your relationship. The addition of just one of these aspects will likely enhance the depth of connection with each other. And let's face it, every one of us is looking for a better connection in our relationship - not just better sex. Although, learning to connect better both in and out of the bedroom will lead to better sex!

To me, that's a win-win.
