Book SynopsisForthright and frank, yet respectful and sensitive, I Am for My Beloved: A Guide to Enhanced Intimacy for Married Couples will help couples enrich their marital and sexual lives, and maintain passion and intimacy within the framework of Jewish tradition. Written by two Orthodox Jewish sex therapists with over 50 years combined experience, I Am for My Beloved conveys essential information about intimacy, sexual anatomy and physiology, sex within the life cycle, and Jewish values and attitudes towards sex – with an informative and practical approach. The information provided in this book will enable couples to enjoy a more open and fulfilling intimate connection, both emotionally and physically.Trade Review"Torah Judaism places great importance on sexuality not only as a legitimate source of pleasure for husband and wife, but also as a key component to a happy marriage and a basic human need. It can be difficult, however, for many religious Jews to maintain a healthy and balanced view of sexuality as they negotiate Judaism's expectations for modesty and sanctity against the currents of the surrounding society's highly sexualized culture. The present work by David Ribner and Talli Rosenbaum is an important resource for religious Jews who seek to understand the essentials and nuances of sexuality and sexual intimacy through the lens of their tradition. The book's presentation is sophisticated, accessible, practical, scientifically current, religiously sensitive, and wise. It should be recommended to any Orthodox couple seeking guidance as they begin their journey together toward physical and emotional intimacy." Dr. Andrew Nachum Klafter, MD"Ribner and Rosenbaum have written an extraordinary book, filled with the authors' special blend of profound religious and clinical wisdom. It is destined to become a classic for Jewish couples seeking to enrich and deepen marital intimacy at every stage throughout the life cycle." Peggy J. Kleinplatz, Ph.D., Director of Sex and Couples Therapy Training, University of Ottawa, Canada"This is a wonderful book with every chapter bringing a tremendous amount of information using clear language, illustrations, case studies and insights from other professionals. The two professional and experienced authors share decades of valuable research and insights gleaned from their work. A worthwhile and important read." Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash, Yoetzet Halakha and Sex Educator
