Flirting with Words: A Guided Journal for Couples

Flirting with Words: A Guided Journal for Couples is an invitation to deepen your relationship through curiosity, conversation, and a little linguistic play. A nerdier, sexier companion to Book of Love & Friendship, this journal reimagines guided writing not as a solitary ritual but as a shared adventure—one that brings romantic partners closer through intentional reflection and honest dialogue.With forty prompts organized across four sections exploring different aspects of intimacy—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual—Flirting with Words is intended to bring couples together and inspire deeper connections. The title foregrounds a particular interest in words—not in the loose sense of simply talking and writing, but more precisely digging into etymologies and word history. It is illuminating, for example, to discover just how many keywords for understanding love and friendship have, over the centuries, moved back and forth between sacred and secular settings, reminding us that there are often surprising, unexpected depths to everyday talk.Always a little geeky, at times sexy, Flirting with Words sparks conversations that range from playful to profound. Some prompts may make you laugh; others might ignite desire; still others may lead you into rabbit holes of thought. All are designed to foster connection, communion, and a richer understanding of the bond you share. Perfect as a Valentine’s gift, an anniversary keepsake, a wedding present, or a just‑because gesture, this journal is for couples who want to be fully in it together—mind, body, heart, and soul.
