Before the Lights Go Out by Quinience Sheppard

In other words, what is he bringing to the table besides himself? For married
couples, this book will force you to look into introspection (examining
yourselves) and retrospection (examining your past to see where you went wrong
and what you can do going forward to fix it). The key to a long lasting
relationship is establishing intimacy, which means knowing if he/she is "into
you" body, mind, and spirit. We will leave the lights on a bit longer to begin
the emotional and spiritual journey towards a better you and a better
relationship with your mate.
