Big Think – What is Love?

Thought for the Day … on Love, Sex, Relationship, Intimacy, etc.  Dr. Schnarch has some great insights worth hearing no matter where we are in relationship.  I often recommend his book Secrets of a Passionate Marriage to anyone dealing with relationship issues.  I like to say it’s a great book no matter where you are on the relationship spectrum, on your way in, in, on your way out, or solo.  Dr. Schnarch often says, “marriages are people growing machines”.

You can find the book in paperback, kindle or audiobook version.
