Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love And Intimacy Alive In Committed Relationships (1997) - Plot & Excerpts
Better living through differentiation. The truth will set you free. This book lays out how marriage works, how and where and why people get stuck, and what you can do about it -- double down, face yourself, be honest about what you want, love. A good friend recommended this to my partner and I and we read it through and discussed it, a chapter at a time. It's fascinating, provocative and full of hope. I hesitated putting this book on my virtual bookshelf because some may find the language and details offensive or too descriptive. Those parts can be skimmed over if you want. However, this is not a sex "how to" book. It is all about maturing in a committed relationship (marriage) and confronting yourself and acting out of integrity. The crucible of marriage, as David Schnarch explains, is all about a marriage falling together when it appears to be falling apart. Differentiation is the key to a deeper, more meaningful, and happier relationship within marriage, and with all of the relationships in your life. This book had a profound impact on me.
