Yeah know, I agree with you on most of your points. Our spouses are supposed to be the one person we can be ‘totally naked’ with and still be comfortable and loved. One problem, that comfort lives where most of us are unwilling to go.

How many folks look at themselves naked metaphorically speaking? Not many. And, when they do get a glimpse of the altogether, there’s a mad dash to hide the most unattractive bits. Am I wrong?

What works, what allows couples to have a passionate marriage, I think, is the ability to like your own quirkiness so you can be compassionate to your spouse. That doing involves curiosity, dedication, kindness and a heaping ration of forgiveness.

“Intimacy is not for the faint of heart.” ~ Passionate Marriage

Hey something that people can DO is read the book Passionate Marriage, by David Schnarch Ph.D. It’s work to plow through but it’s well worth it. He has a very similar perspective as Cory here.
