Legacy Audiobooks
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Why does sexual desire fade in even the most loving relationships? Dr. David Schnarch’s groundbreaking book, Intimacy & Desire, reveals that these challenges are not a sign of failure, but a powerful engine for personal and relational growth. Discover how to grasp the core insights in just 15 minutes. This audio distills the essential lessons from the original book, cutting out the fluff and saving you hours.
Learn why every couple has a "low desire" and "high desire" partner and how this normal dynamic controls your sex life. This analysis goes beyond simple communication tips to uncover the concept of "differentiation"—the ability to maintain a strong sense of self while remaining intimately connected to your partner. You'll learn the Four Points of Balance, a practical framework for building emotional strength, soothing your own anxiety, and tolerating the discomfort necessary for growth.
If you’ve read the book before, it’s a great way to reinforce what matters most. Stop the cycle of blame and frustration by understanding the hidden systems that govern intimacy, monogamy, and sexual boredom.
