A must read for any long term marriage.
After reading some of this book I began evaluating various love songs and romantic comedies as "differentiated" or "undifferentiated." Guess which one's better? If you don't know, I guess you have to read the book!
This book summarizes many concepts that are helpful to understanding marriage and intimacy. The case studies are interesting and varied. After awhile however, I began to feel that his couples therapy might have worked to improve his client's sex lives by adding the element of voyeurism (the therapist's voyeurism) to the sexual dynamic. Although I liked the book, I ended up disliking the writer. Perhaps I am just prudish(though I don't think so). The book is sometimes sexually graphic.

"When we believe that hormones run the show, we send kids the unconscious message that we don't really expect them to control their crotch while they have zits on their face. We give kids a double message: we'd like you to delay first intercourse, but we think it's impossible and you'll be giving up the best sex you'll ever have."
"Low sexual desire is almost always considered a problem. (I've found it often reflects good judgment: healthy people don't want sex when it's not worth wanting.)"
"Expecting your partner to sacrifice for you in the name of love KILLS marriage, sex, intimacy, and love."
"We often feel afraid to say things that might affect our marriage, and in our fear we withhold information. Then we look with disrespect upon our partner, who we assume couldn't handle what we fear to say! The best sex and intimacy in marriage often come out of mutual respect. Respect is a bond of the highest order."
I highly, highly recommend this book. It has been a paradigm changer for how I think about relationships and sex. I couldn't read more than a few pages at a time when I normally fly through books because it prompted so much thought and processing of what I read. This book cuts straight through the fluff and gets to the details of why and how to fix a relationship. I think that this might be the best book I have ever read about committed relationships and sexuality, and I have read a lot on this subject.… (altro)
