Psychologist and Relationship Expert Dr. Erica Holmes Gives Advice on Making Every Day a Valentine’s Day<\/i><\/p>\n \u2014 Dr. Erica Holmes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA, February 7, 2024 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — LOS ANGELES \u2013 As couples are making romantic plans for Valentine\u2019s Day, psychologist and relationship expert Dr. Erica Holmes<\/a> offers 180 ways to make the love last a lifetime. In her latest book, \u201cIntimacy \u2260 Sex<\/a>: 180 Activities to Help Couples Connect,\u201d (Over North Publishing; on sale July 23, 2024; ISBN-10:1733232044 and ISBN-13:978-1733232043; 196 pages; $20.95), Dr. Holmes gives advice on establishing intimacy in a person\u2019s relationship to keep the connection alive. She is a licensed psychologist and media savvy clinician, specializing in matters of the head (mental health) AND the heart (marriage and relationships). The third book in Dr. Holmes series of relationship books, \u201cIntimacy \u2260 Sex\u201d provides inspirational and practical tips to help couples forge a path back toward relational vitality.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes, when people talk about their sex lives, they may use the terms, sex and intimacy, interchangeably,\u201d explained Dr. Holmes. \u201cSex is one type of intimacy, like a car is one type of transportation. If your only form of transportation is a car, you’ll never make it to the Caribbean, and if your only form of intimacy is sex, you’ll never experience the fullness of a healthy, sustained and fulfilling romantic relationship.”<\/p>\n According to Dr. Holmes, so many partners underestimate the power and necessity of nurturing different kinds of intimacy in their relationships, and turn to sex as a path for all aspects of a connection. As they soon learn, a relationship that does not foster dimensional aspects of intimacy can often feel flat or lopsided, and the sex that once brought the couple together can feel lackluster or unavailable. Many couples then find themselves lost for ways to try to reignite the spark that once was. When couples feel stuck, it can feel near impossible to generate new ideas for connection.<\/p>\n Celebrities and everyday people breakup, stray or divorce because the connection fizzles. Let\u2019s face it, we all have #RelationshipGoals. Whether it\u2019s former First Lady Michelle and President Barack Obama; Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle or Beyonce\u2019 and Jay-Z, everyone hopes to find \u201cMr.\u201d or \u201cMs.\u201d to live happily ever. \u201cIntimacy \u2260 Sex\u201d proposes practical tips to fuel the flame of renewed intimacy that can be the glue to help relationships stick.<\/p>\n \u201cIntimacy \u2260 Sex\u201d is not just a book: it is a lifestyle. Regardless of the stage of a person\u2019s relationship, getting pass the honeymoon and cultivating deeper connections can help enhance one\u2019s experience and fulfillment. Sex might be what initially attracts an individual to a potential mate, but sex is not the long-term glue that will keep a couple together. Dr. Holmes said connecting with your partner as a whole person is the key to having lasting love and commitment. \u201cIntimacy \u2260 Sex\u201d is available on Amazon. <\/p>\n ABOUT DR.
