""Cultivating Closeness"" is a relationship workbook designed to both inform couples about the importance of relational closeness, as well as outline practical tools to serve as a catalyst for building, maintaining, strengthening and renewing a couple's relational closeness. With graphics, exercises with detailed instructions, worksheets, as well as a feeling inventory to assist both partners in further developing their emotional vocabulary, ""Cultivating Closeness"" hopes to help bridge the gap with 'close-walks' and 'close-talks' to help you and your partner come together. ""The goal of conflict resolution is less about attacking the conflict, and more about drawing closer together so as to resolve the conflict and not wound one another in the resolution process""
