Better Than Marriage – The Book

What can you learn about marriage from a divorced, bisexual, Jewish family lawyer?

Try the secrets of mind-blowing sex, spiritual kisses, mutually satisfying housework, financial peace and everyday sensuality.

Davis Woods-Morse boldly demands that people have more fun in long-term, committed relationships and has written a book that is part travel guide, part cookbook and part novel. It sets out an easy-to-follow plan to romantic bliss that everyone can get excited about.

The guide describes how couples, especially married and committed couples, can re-kindle their romance by going on creative dates. Once the connection has heated up, the guide suggests ways to create agreements that will sustain the relationship and avoid common pitfalls.

Davis has put a lot of thought into relationships; you might have guessed this from the highly nuanced approached he and Katherine are taking to their own togetherness. Many of those ideas are captured in his upcoming book Better Than Marriage: A Guide to Sex, Spirit, Sweat and Sense.

Davis encourages all couples in all kinds of relationships to continue to date. The book begs people who love each other to define and refine their relationships. It also suggests ways for dating to serve as a conversation opener leading to a series of agreements. Those understandings allow any relationship to be better than marriage because the relationship will reflect the desires and intentions of the couple.

From Better Than Marriage:

You deserve to share mind-blowing sex. You deserve to feel a spiritual kiss. You deserve a mutually satisfying division of work. You deserve regular sensual touch. You deserve to believe that you’d make the same choices and end up with the same person if you had it to do all over again. Getting those needs met takes a framework of agreements and a commitment to spending sacred time together.

If you’re now at a point where you’ve heard all of your partner’s stories twice, then you picked up this book at precisely the right moment. Between the covers are explorations of body and mind that will have you drooling over your partner. Again.

Too often, couples talk about sex only when peeling off each other’s underwear. Great lovers do more than exchange logistical information about sex. Great lovers discuss and debate sex, study sex as art, history and biology. Great lovers define themselves through the lens of sexuality. You and your partner can become great lovers.

If you have ever wanted to make your own rules, then you picked the right guide. If you and your partner sit at a crowded restaurant and think you might be the only ones who aren’t wearing underwear, then this is the guide for you.

How this guide works

One of the staples of great loving relationships is date night. This guide suggests ways for you and your sweetie to discover or rediscover your inner wonderfulness and get you all you deserve from your relationship. The energy created by spending intentional time together will prompt you to complete projects designed to help you get the satisfaction you deserve from your relationship.

Long-lasting relationships need dates in order to create and sustain romantic energy; you probably intuitively realize this need. Whether you need a reminder about why your partner is wonderful or need to figure out what truly makes him or her fabulous in the first place, dating is the best way for you to get the relationship you deserve.

The dates described here are more purposeful than simply going out to a concert or to an art gallery. Each one is designed to prompt a bite-sized, easy-to-swallow “homework” conversation about your relationship.

Relationships thrive on a diet of purpose, and articulating why you’re together will prove reassuring in moments of doubt and amplifying in times of joy.

Happiness and love are your birthright. Get ready to take the first step to claiming that birthright by asking your partner, spouse, best friend, roommate, and lover out on a date.
