Cobra, here is a thought I had regarding the Schnarch movement vs. SSM vs. other relationship discussed/utilized on this BB. I was reading a lot of different business and investment books this past fall and winter, which is a new thing for me even though I do own my own business. It occured to me that "Passionate Marriage" is sort of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" of relationship books. If you want to have a really hot, passionate sex life, you have to be willing to do the same kind of research and self-improvement and take the kinds of risks that someone would have to take if they wanted to be rich as opposed to just financially comfortable. That is why Schnarch isn't everyone's cup of tea. Many of the folks on this BB are just hoping to get a decent enough return on their sexual relationship investment that they won't be forced to survive on the occasional can of dented sexual cat food. Of course, this analogy is not perfect because Kiyosaki says that he believes that it may be impossible to become rich if you don't have a spouse who wants to be rich also.
