Re the question about discussing PM on this board. Michele cites Schnarch in TSSM, lists PM in TSSM's bibliography, and also lists PM in her recommended reading list in TSSM.
I think that Michele has a real gift for writing and presenting ideas that integrate her theories and successful experiences as a therapist and the theories of others such as Schnarch in a manner that's understandable to most people, that are positive and hopeful, and that are truly solution oriented. One of the things that I appreciate most, too, is that she's always telling us to monitor results and to stop going down cheeseless tunnels. So, if PM has some ideas and concepts that result in a better marriage for you, that's right in line with Michele's concepts of trying different methods, setting babysteps as goals, monitoring results, and staying with methods that produce results while abandoning the cheeseless tunnels. Just my humble opinion.
