What if intimacy wasn't something you had to earn, work at, or get right, but something you could choose to be and have? In this book, Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer invite you into a radically different conversation about connection and relationships.

Through the Five Elements of Intimacy (Honor, Trust, Allowance, Vulnerability, and Gratitude) you'll discover how true intimacy starts with you and expands smoothly into every area, and every relationship, in your life.
