 Written on September 18, 2007 Summary: Transformational Was given a copy of PM from our family practice doc when I went in for severe marriage-related anxiety. Schnarch's focus on transforming ourselves into better people (and thus partners) rather than doling out techniques has completely changed my way of thinking about myself and my marriage. I know now that marital problems are the normal process by which we are forced to confront ourselves and improve over the course of our lives, rather than being things to avoid. Couldn't recommend this book more strongly. Written on July 12, 2007 Summary: Best Book on Relationships.... EVER This book literally changed my life. I read A LOT and have read many self-help books. David Schnarch has a way of connecting with you right from the start and his real-life examples are a way of helping you to realize that every couple has issues to deal with. I have recommended this book to so many friends for so many reasons and no one has been disappointed with it. As a matter of fact they are now recommending it to their friends. Don't miss out on a chance to make your marriage/life/relationship better and more fulfilling.  Written on June 6, 2007 Summary: Ambiguous, disappointing The key concepts of this guide to marriage are: 1. that low-desire and high-desire are equally valid, 2. that the low-desire partner controls what happens in the bedroom and, 3. that the high-desire partner has to become more "differentiated", able to "self-sooth" [masturbate?] and thus become emotionally detached from the other's behaviour. Schnarch claims that almost every couple attending his workshops, subsequently enjoys more satisfying and more frequent sex. Yet, if the author were correct in his assertion that low-desire and high-desire are equally valid, a similar number of couples would have been satisfied with the status quo or with even less intimate, less frequent sex. While Schnarch correctly states that the low-desire partner controls the bedroom, he fails to draw the obvious conclusion: That, if the low-desire partner is not interested in changing, not interested in taking steps towards a more satisfying relationship, the strategy for the high-desire partner may be to reverse roles by becoming the low-desire partner, thus taking control away from the low-desire partner. For most high-desire partners, the only way to achieve this is to find fulfilment elsewhere, probably in the arms of another. Hardly a recipe though, for "keeping love and intimacy alive in committed relationships." In summary: While helping some couples towards a better marriage, this book fails to live up to its claim, that one partner can necessarily mend the relationship without cooperation from the other. Written on June 5, 2007 Summary: the best relationship book This book is an essential book for couples and for therapists. What I got from reading this book was that the best thing couples can do for their relationship is to keep on growing as an individual and to develop the ability to self-soothe, and to manage the aggression in the relationship. People often have the notion that passion dies as the novelty wears off, but this book asserts that physical intimacy is actually most possible in relationships that are long-term, monogamous, and high in emotional intimacy. I like the openness, candor, and hopefulness in this book, and can't recommend it highly enough. Written on May 29, 2007 Summary: Passionate Marriage: Love, sex, and intimacy in Emotionally commited Relationships I loved this book!! I read it first and then my wife did. We learned tons and it has opened up our sex life so much! Being raised in an emotionally closed family, this book taught me how to open up and tell and show my wife that i love her. |
