Summary
Bethany had been married and things were going along fine, but she didn't feel very connected to her husband on a deep level.
She planned to go on a weekend retreat and she was surprised to find out all that she learned.
She found out that she and her husband communicate differently.
For example, she found out that husbands' preferred method of communication is sex, while that is not wives' first preferred method of communication.
This and other generally true understandings gave her the insights she needed to bring her intimacy to a greater level in all areas of her relationship.
