Background on A Wife’s Invitation to Intimacy

After I had been teaching An Invitation to Intimacy for a couple of years, I would have different women say to me, “Boy, I wish my sister could take this class. She would love it.” Sometimes I would even have women tell me that they wished their mother could know the material they were learning.

For a long time I didn’t know how to respond. Then one day my grown married daughter, Faith, who had taken my class said to me, “Mom, you ought to combine the Leader’s Guide and the Student Workbook into one book. That way, any woman could study and learn this material on their own and wouldn’t have to hope for a class to be taught near her.”

So, this is how A Wife’s Invitation to Intimacy came to be written.

In this book you will find the class material I use during my teaching sessions, melded with the articles and homework activities a student does at home. In addition, I’ve written in such a way to imitate a feeling like you and I are sitting together discussing this material.

My prayer is that you will find this resource helpful and insightful. Although this book does not make it possible for you to have access to the questions and comments discussed in a class setting, I hope you and your husband will find yourselves talking about them with each other.

A Wife’s Invitation to Intimacy is also written in such a way that a small group of friends could read this material and then get together to discuss what they are learning. This gives a group of ladies the chance to hear other ideas and helpful suggestions without the preparation and responsibilities of leading a class.
