Marital Intimacy is A Classic Vital Book
Thank you for writing it. Every Jew should read it. It should be required for every couple to read.

Great explanation here as well.

Agree
I couldn't agree more. I have been married for twelve years now and because I am so particular about following these laws I find myself so sensitive to my husband that when I get mad at him once in a while I literally cannot bear to hand something directly to him as touching him suddenly becomes something so intimate, almost like a kiss. I suppose this sounds crazy to someone who doesn't live this lifestyle but that doesn't make this feeling not true.

Eloquently stated. I truly enjoyed listening to Rabbi Friedman's class.
