Intimacy: How to Get More of It
Okay ladies, it's about time for you to get what you need and want from your man. If you are ready for more intimacy and happiness in your relationship, then you have come to right place. My goal is to provide you with 20 steps that will help you get the kind of relationship that makes you giggle yourself silly with joy.
Is it more cuddle-time you want? More overall sweetness? Or maybe you are looking to rekindle that spark which, over time, has dimmed a bit? I'm going to give you tips and tricks on how to get all of that, on your own terms.
We're going to get down to brass tacks here, so prepare yourself. We'll talk about body parts, manipulation strategies (that sounds terrible, I know!), picking your battles, learning how to trust and a whole host of other ideas designed to create a happier home life for both you and your man.
Happy wife, happy life. Happy spouse, happy house. We've heard it all before. Now it's time to make it happen! Come along on this journey with me and discover the strategies that will help you get more of what you desire from the love of your life. Enjoy!

This book changed my life! I loved it.
I wish I'd read this book when I was a teenager as I would have done alot of things differently.
This book offers women 20 suggestions for how to achieve greater intimacy with their boyfriend or husband. She tells readers that the book isn't intended to be a "how to please your man" book, but rather it's designed to give women suggestions on ways they can create a healthy, happy relationship. I couldn't agree more. If you just surface-level read it then it may initially come across like a how to please your man book, but it's not that at all. It's all about learning how to relax and put things in perspective so that life has less stress, less nagging, and less dissension, thereby allowing for a life filled with love and happiness. Plus, the books is funny as heck.
A few things in particular I really liked is she helps women figure out how to argue with their man in a way that is most effective. She also explains a 5-step plan for assessing a reasonable reaction to anger/hurt. She calls it the 10 to the 5th power rule. Rather than just saying to take it easy and not get so mad all the time, she instead gives you very specific ideas on how to gauge how important an incident is and once gauged how to figure out a solution-based way to react. Simply fantastic advice. These two in particular changed the way I deal with my relationships--not just with my significant other, but with all people. I'm so glad I read this book.
I just saw that she has another book with a similar design for men so that they too can learn how to create a happier relationship and have a happier partner. I'm going to have to read that one too, even if it is for men.
I hope everyone takes the time to read it. It's a short book, so it only takes about 90 minutes or so to read, but it will change your life for the better. Excellent read. Highly recommended.

Love this book. Love it. I know guys are not supposed to read this book, but I did and it gave me good insight into how women think.

I have to admit, I love writing relationship advice columns. I HATE reading them. With a passion. The snooty, holier than thou attitude gets to me each and every time. And by the time I am done reading, I want to go punch Joe out of sheer frustration, which definitely doesn’t help our relationship any. Even though I punch like a girl. But I digress.
So to say I took on this book with a little bit of trepidation is quite possibly the understatement of the century. I love Jodi, I really do. And I didn’t want to end up hating her because I read her book. The size helped. It is ridiculously short. As in I read it in under an hour. How much snootiness can you fit into a book that has less than 60 pages?
Zero. Zilch, Nada. Not one snooty comment in the whole book. And she uses the word muff in relation to our lady parts. Several times. And she wasn’t afraid to call women bitches when they’re acting like one. For reals, yo.
Jodi is honest with her female readers. Sometimes we can be royal pains in the ass to the men we love, and she not so gently reminds us of this. She’s not afraid to use language that would make most advice columnists turn ten different shades of red in her attempt to get her point across. If you want your man to treat you right, read this book, I swear it will change the way you think about your relationship.

I bought both this book and her other book for my partner and I to read. While I read both of them and love them both dearly, I wouldn't let him read this one because it would give away all of our secrets. Miss Ambrose really understands how to write for each gender. The books are similar in tone as they are both funny and sarcastic and sentimental all at the same time, but she clearly understands that men and women relate to words differently and did a great job of tayloring her words to both men and women. These books are fantastic and I'd recommend them to anyone in or out of a relationship. Learn how to do it right from the start if you are single. Learn how to make it better if you are in a relationship. I'm so glad someone recommended these books to me. I'm recommending them to a bunch of people as I think if you only read 2 books this year, these are the two to read.

Although the author is a friend, I am writing my review very honestly. Jodi actually gave me a copy of both of her books quite awhile ago and I can finally say I was able to read this one. She had me laughing from the beginning and I felt like anyone who would read this book would enjoy it. I am blessed with a truly wonderful marriage but whether you are like me in a very happy marriage, in a less than satisfying marriage or somewhere in between I think everyone could take away something from this great book. As women, we don't always get the men in our lives and this book really spells out so many things that I believe we miss understanding in our other halves. The book is a great read and one that I believe everyone who is in a relationship should read it and get to know the men in our lives a little more. Thanks Jodi for all the laughs too.

"Intimacy: How to Get More of It", by Jodi Ambrose, is a quick handbook full of great wisdom for a woman to fine tune her approach to dealing with the man in her life. All of the info is geared towards getting more of what you want in terms of love and affection.
With "Intimacy", think less text book and more Cliff's notes. Ambrose is more like a cool aunt rather than Dr. Ruth. I like that Ambrose starts the book with a quick discussion about what this book is and what it isn't, then gives you a list of 20 items to increase the likelihood of intimacy followed by a chapter for each of the items. This makes "Intimacy" read like an open book test on the average man.

This book is a fresh, original take on the issue of intimacy. The author gives excellent advice that I've never heard anyone say before, and she delivers it in a very humorous way. I laughed my head off.

Her first book was great. This one is awesome. It appears she knows both men and women inside and out. Great read!

I just won this book from this site and am so excited! I have just started reading it and am not too sure if it is going to be good or bad, but it sure starts out funny! :)
Okay, Jodi tells about a list that women can go by to make their intimacy issues with their other halves better. The list has 20 things that I feel are pretty good to use. I have tried many of these with my current husband, but maybe I have to try the others, since I am in a rut.
Sometimes the information seemed kind of like taking us back to the early nineteen hundreds when all we did was please our husbands and didn't do anything for ourselves. We need to get back to trying to please each other in order to please ourselves.
Jodi also says not to sweat the small stuff, which I think most people will tell you to do nowadays, but it is so much harder than it sounds.
All in all, it was a short book that is updated information on how to communicate in order to get intimate.

Well, it's not particularly fair for me to leave a review as I'm the author, but I'd like to say that I hope you love the book and that it helps bring you incredible joy, peace and love.
It's funny, a little bit snarky, very much from the heart, and full of down-to-earth suggestions on how to have a great relationship. Enjoy!
