Overview
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,” Dr. Schnarch brings straight talk and humor to his three decades of expertise and offers insights into:
• Emotional gridlock — why this critical phase is necessary for the healthy evolution of all relationships
• How to “self-soothe” your anxieties and open to the full range of human eroticism
• The psychology of sex — how to make an ally out of what you’re really thinking during sex, and much more With many proven exercises to “electrify” your sex life, heighten passion, and renew commitment, Secrets of a Passionate Marriage is sure to help your relationship reach its full potential, both in and out of bed.

This is basically an advertisement for a three day course that the author runs. Skip it.

This was the most boring and irrelevant book I have ever had! The narator was even boring to listen to.
Secrets if a Passionate Marriage

The context of the book was excellent. I learned a new approach to marriage and the issues of long term relationships. The author/reader did not lend excitement to the information. A different reader may have increased the interest of the book.

Didn't like it, very wordy and used big ideas and words to make simple pionts.
Secrets of a Passionate Marriage [uab]

Very different & interesting approach to sexual disfunctional part of the marriage or the communication part. I like how the author use the non-pathological approach. It is true that not everyone will always have perfect passionate sex and it's ok to know that it IS normal among people. It takes a certain level of maturity, self discipline and realization though to finish the book.. enjoy.

Though any attempt to spice-up long-term committed relationships is laudable, this may not be the book for everyone. If pop psychology laced with authorial self-congratulation (it's now printed in dozens of languages!) and such grad-school phrases as 'non-pathological', 'efficacious', and especially 'differentiation' pitched as laymen's terms excites you, then you will enjoy this as a potentially helpful guide.
At a Point of Reckoning? This book will probably address it!

We have each had our reckoning points in our relationships. Feeling on top, feeling left out, or at a stalemate, in fairly plain language, Schnarch talks you through the "how you got theres" and "where your headed" with clear directives on how to achieve well being in your relationship. Recommended read.
