A Book Review of Love in the Time of Corona

Are you struggling to connect with your partner in this time of forced togetherness? The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many people to lose their jobs or work from home. Also, some couples are trying to raise a family and at the same time home school.  How does a couple come through this time more intimate than ever rather than a stressed mess?

That was the inspiration for Dr. Diana Wiley’s book, Love in the Time of Corona. Dr. Diana is a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist who has been in practice for over 30 years and knows a thing or two about how to keep the sparks flying during this time and after.

Love in the Time of Corona is divided into ten chapters or strategies to recreate intimacy and passion. Dr. Diana talks about how to get to know your partner again and the importance of planning a date night. During this time many couples are very stressed. Dr. Diana discusses how sex can actually relieve stress as well as the importance of touch to alleviate stress. She provides fun and easy exercises to reunite couples. No one can say any longer they don’t have time to connect because she has exercises for couples short on time. With chapters titled, “Laugh and Play Together” and “Try Something New” there is something for every couple.

One of the best things about Love in the Time of Corona” is how approachable it is. It’s short, sweet and to the point, but also has a plethora of information. Dr. Diana’s candid manner and sex positive attitude provides comfort to the reader while simultaneously making them want to open up and explore more. The reader doesn’t have to read this book beginning to end (though I would recommend it!), but they can pick and choose what chapters would be helpful to them.

If you are looking for a book to connect with your partner and also learn some fun facts about sex along the way, this is your book!
