Oneness

I’ve been working on a new project, a game for married couples only. Encouraging oneness, or closeness, it explores relational as well as sexual issues.

Intimacy: Thrillers

We are all going in one direction or another. Oftentimes our responsibilities distract or even overthrow our intimate efforts. Are you killing or thrilling your relationship?

Intimacy: Killers

If your child had been attacked and their throat was seized by a Pit Bull, what would you do…and when? Just like that, we battle relational Pit Bull.
