And I know my husband's eyes are open some of the time. But I mean, what really is the point? Why does it matter?
I think Schnarch is making the point that a lot of people ML with their eyes closed or never making eye contact with their partner as a way of withdrawing into their own private world instead of CONNECTING. He is suggesting ML with your eyes open and LOOKING at each other's eyes as a way of being present. Also with your eyes open you can see what's going on, see the equipment, body parts, etc.
