Does your relationship feel stuck? Going through the same patterns over and over? Bored? Read Passionate Marriage. My husband and I just finished reading this life-changing book. I’m serious – life-changing, however – not for the fate of heart. This book is blunt with a capital “B.”
Schnarch believes the dynamics of your relationships, for better or worse, are displayed in your sexual behaviors (i.e. who wants what, frequency, satisfaction…) Thus what’s happening or not happening in the bedroom, is just another stage for the “real issues” of your relationship – trust, deserving, respect, etc.
Maybe you think you and your partner “can’t communicate anymore,” Schnarch explains how you are in fact very much communicating and how, why, when…There are about 4 or 5 couples he follows through their “time in the crucible.” The whole concept of emotional fusion and self-soothing was keenly beneficial to not only my relationship with my husband but with everyone else in my life.
This is a must read!
