Growth and development in relational spirituality are so subtle that we often overlook their importance. In this examination of the adventure of intimacy, psychologist Thomas J. Tyrrell uses the 65-year-long marriage between his maternal grandparents as a means of studying the soul of relationship. He touches upon the importance of choice, struggle, brokenness, anger, resignation, and letting go. Tyrrell's commentary on this caring relationship conveys both the wonder and the mystery of intimacy.
