If you think you need to change your marriage, think again. It may well be that your marriage is trying to change you. In Secrets of a Passionate Marriage, Dr. David Schnarch shares a revolutionary approach thousands have used to take their relationships to new and lasting heights of sexual ecstasy and intimacy. Emotionally committed relationships, he teaches, are people-growing machines, and sexual difficulty and other challenges are actually signs of a healthy, maturing relationship. Moving beyond traditional therapies that work a little bit, Dr. Schnarch brings straight talk and humor to his three decades of expertise and offers insights into:

Good book, less than good production value

This was a great book. It was pretty annoying to hear the engineers/production staff snickering in the background when the author said something funny. It felt like I was being spied on while listening.

Must read for everyone!

These amazing principles apply to all aspects of life. Not just a passionate marriage. The author is factual and yet so entertaining as he uses stories to make his points.

Great overview for couples needing big changes

Really interesting take on holding on to your self in a marriage and disconnecting from emotional entanglement.
If more people could implement these principles of self care/soothing /calm and honesty... There would be happier relationships.
