Desire: The Workbook

Deepen your relationship to desire with this ground-breaking workbook that helps individuals and couples understand the profound role it plays in their lives-based on Jay Stringer's pioneering book Desire and informed by an original study of more than 2,500 people.

In Desire, Jay Stringer offers readers a liberating promise: that sexual and relational desire problems are a roadmap to healing and growth. Every struggle we face, confusion we encounter, heartache we experience, and sexual limitation we reach is an opportunity to see our past and present selves with kinder eyes and grow deeper in intimacy and desire.

This companion workbook helps readers take the next step on that journey. Too often we overindex in one of these areas rather than developing a holistic relationship to all five. The workbook will guide participants to develop their five core longings:

1. Wholeness: caring for childhood heartache and trauma


2. Growth: developing curiosity and hospitality for life's ongoing difficulties


3. Intimacy: learning how to love and be loved


4. Pleasure: experiencing the revelation, provocation, and healing of sex


5. Purpose: cultivating a compelling and meaningful life

With questions for reflection, prompts for journaling, and exercises to help couples improve communication, Desire: The Workbook invites you to understand your story, become an authentic partner, and cultivate the intimacy and desire that you were meant to experience.
