Love, Intimacy & Check-Ins: A Real Talk Guide to Thriving in Marriage
By Dwayne & Angel Merritt - The Marriage Doctors

Are you drifting apart in your marriage, feeling unseen, or simply trying to reignite the spark?

Love, Intimacy & Check-Ins is a transparent, faith-filled guide written by high school sweethearts and certified marriage facilitators Dwayne and Angel Merritt. After 18 years of marriage, four daughters, full-time ministry, and seasons of struggle, they share real stories and proven strategies that have helped countless couples rebuild connection and restore intimacy - with God at the center.

This book tackles the unspoken issues that slowly destroy marriages: emotional neglect, sexual disconnect, poor communication, parenting overload, and even "the other woman" - which isn't always a person, but anything that pulls your spouse's attention away.

Inside you'll discover:

• The truth about intimacy and why emotional safety matters more than frequency

• How silence and distractions become enemies to connection

• What men and women really want but rarely say

• How to prioritize your marriage when life and kids feel all-consuming

• Practical tools for "marriage check-ins" - before crisis hits

Whether your marriage is thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between, this book will equip you with wisdom, warmth, and biblical truth to help you love each other better - every single day.

Your marriage doesn't need a miracle. It needs maintenance. And it starts here.
