Welcome to “Improving Intimacy”, a podcast for single and married Latter-day Saints seeking to build stronger family connections and marriages.
I am your host, Daniel A. Burgess Marriage & Family Therapist, father, husband, author, podcaster, and presenter. Like Lehi tasting of the fruit from the tree of life, my profound love and testimony for the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been a hope and light in my life that I desire to share with everyone.
As both a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Marriage & Family Therapist, I will explore both the teachings of the church and mental health concepts relating to improving intimacy.
Early on as a therapist, I quickly discovered that there were few resources within the church that guided individuals through, what I call the messy process of improving intimate relationships. The church manuals, conference talks, and other LDS resources do a great job at providing the ideal, eternal objectives. But what does it look like to improve intimate relationships in the messiness of day to day life?
I’ll explore a broad range of common and often difficult topics including; communication, parenting, sex, conflict resolution, divorce, blended families, pornography, preparing for marriage, and sexual health education. In addition, I’ll explore how to navigate discussions around both taboo and sacred topics using the scriptures and the teachings of the prophets.
“Improving Intimacy” is intended as an educational resource, although my guests and I are licensed therapists and members of the church. The resources and information provided in each episode are not intended to replace individual therapeutic treatment or represent any official teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Now join me for the next episode of “Improving Intimacy”…
