Resurrecting Intimacy,
By Island Girl "Sue" (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resurrecting Sex: Solving Sexual Problems and Revolutionizing Your Relationship (Paperback)
This book is a great follow-up to Schnarch's "Passionate Marriage" work. Resurrecting Sex uses the same principles from the earlier work and specifically applies them to sex (more to the point to those who are experiencing sexual concerns). Schnarch stays true to his belief that sex without intimacy is less than it could be. His suggestions for people having orgasm difficulty focus on the mind/body connection. This is not a "how to manual". If you're looking for physical techniques to improve your sex life, you'll need to balance this work with others.

Very helpful guide for a "work in progress",
By Mimo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Resurrecting Sex: Solving Sexual Problems and Revolutionizing Your Relationship (Paperback)
The fifty pages in Part II are the core content of this book. They offer a comforting view of the difficult side of marriage - the long term, committed relationship where sex is dead or dying. I say "comforting" because Schnarch maps out the progression of a relationship in a way where you can see that the fluctuations in the passion and intimacy couples feel for each other are part of the natural growth cycle of a marriage. What sometimes feels like the end of a relationship is actually a trigger for the next growth cycle, for the individual and the couple. Through various examples using couples from his practice and his own marriage, he offers encouragement and practical advice to help couples through this sometimes difficult and frustrating cycle of a marriage.The tone of Schnarch's writing is more down to earth, like advice from a friend, compared with his other book "Passionate Marriage" which is also excellent but sometimes sounds a little preachy in comparison. This more personal tone, plus use of examples from his own life experience make this book like a personal consultation with Dr. Schnarch. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Resurrecting Sex: Solving Sexual Problems and Revolutionizing Your Relationship (Paperback)
This is SO different from any other book about sex you will ever read. But different in a GREAT way. This is about how sexual incompatibilies (big or small) are normal, WHY they are normal, and how to resolve them. Every single married couple should read this book, maybe repeatedly.

Marriage builder,
By John E. Wymore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Resurrecting Sex: Solving Sexual Problems and Revolutionizing Your Relationship (Paperback)
Dr. David Schnarch has pioneered and developed a profound and penetrating approach to sex and intimacy within committed relationships. Schnarch uncovers the basic connection between sexual growth, the growth of intimacy, and personal growth within a relationship. Hot sex, increased closeness in your partnerships, and much personal growth--GREAT. My wife and I have been married 45 years, through ups and downs, a good marriage. We've read countless books on marriage, been involved in various "marriage weekends," etc., etc. Without doubt, Schnarch's work has been the most beneficial to our married lives. There should be a warning attached to his work, however: Schnarch's approach brings a couple into fuller honesty and greater exposure. Many couples maintain their status quo and keep the peace by building walls of silence around "sensitive" areas. In short, they keep their marriages safe by more-or-less agreeing to a degree of dishonesty. When those often-comfortable walls of silence come down, intimacy builds; you will know each other better than ever. But THAT is the risk, the scary part. You may not like what you learn.
