a few good books on marital intimacy

i have been reading a few very good books on marital intimacy latelty and wanted to share the titles with you.
1. Becoming One by Robert F. Stahmann and Wayne R Young and Julie G Grover

"Beyond the excitement of building a life together lies the reality that the quality of a marriage relationship is built upon physical and emotional intimacy. Too many couples begin in ignorance, not understanding their own needs or those of the person they love. Countless studies have shown that this can lead to problems and conflicts over the sexual aspects of marriage that may contribute to unhappiness and even divorce. How much better to establish a basis for open communication, unselfishness, and love by learning the facts about the differing sexual, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of men and women."

Written from an LDS perspective, Becoming One offers frank, easy-to-understand information that can keep married couples on the path to a happy, fulfilling relationship—one that will serve them well throughout all the stages of their married lives". (from deseretbook.com)

2. The Sexually Confident Wife by Shannon Ethridge

"Shannon gives women a new prism through which they may view themselves as wives, lovers, mothers, sisters, and daughters. Her insights, information, and inspiration will help women form healthy, satisfying, and joyful relationships. Isn't that what it is all about? Thank you Shannon"
-Julianne D. Davis, Ph.D.

"The Sexually Confident Wife is an insightful book about married sexuality. I was deeply impressed with Shannon's personal transparency and ability to discuss frankly, yet graciously, some of the more challenging bedroom issues. Beyond that, I was sincerely encouraged by her wisdom, humor and grace. This book is an invaluable tool for wives in search of sexual wholeness and marital intimacy."
-Lori Byerly, Author of The Generous Wife/Husband and The Marriage Bed

"If your sexual confidence is shaky, you can do something about it. Shannon Ethridge pulls the covers off of the bedroom issues that threaten to leave you and your husband disconnected – emotionally, spiritually and physically. With honesty and directness, she shows you how to conquer doubts, hesitation and anxieties so you can enjoy a more sexually satisfying marriage."
