   You can get all the same advice in this book from women’s magazines. No new insights.

   Michele,

   I just finished reading THE SEX-STARVED MARRIAGE. It’s great and I will find it a helpful tool in my work as Director of Employee Assistance for AutoNation, Republic Services, Inc., Miami Dolphins and ProPlayer Stadium. I have already recommended it to many people. I have great response from people who are reading THE DIVORCE REMEDY. I detected what I think is a typographical error on page 198 in the first
   paragraph of Afterglow in THE SEX-STARVED MARRIAGE. “In fact, research tells us that 69 percent of what couple in healthy marriages argue about is RESOLVABLE”. I believe I heard you say UNRESOLVABLE in one of your presentations.

   Keep up your good work!

   I have not read the entire book–only bits and pieces while at different book-stores. And I know why I am hesitating in purchasing it just yet: a. The marriage of the friends for whom I want to buy the book is at a very early stage, and maybe they dont need this book just yet.
   
   b. But the bigger reason is the title of the book. Using the word ’starved’ has made it appear as a one-sided book—a book only for those whose libido is high—-whereas typically the low-libido person needs to read this book also, since s/he needs to u.stand how her/his insensitivity to the sexual needs of her/his partner, can be ruining an otherwise happy marriage.
   
   The ’starved’ seems to spell only the ‘deprived’ partner’s state, whereas in as much as it takes 2 to tango (and make love), both people need to be addressed. Infact, inside the covers, the book does precisely that—-its a very well written book, with equal sections for both the people. Thus it should be definitely a very useful book for both partners.
   
   Maybe a title like: ‘SEX-DEVOID MARRIAGE’ sounds more neutral in its approach.

   I read both this book and its carbon copy, Rekindling Desire by Barry McCarthy, hoping to find some help for my own low-/no-sex marriage, and found absolutely none at all. They did not even begin to address my situation. They deal strictly with sexual techniques and completely avoid the deeper relational and emotional issues that drive couples, like me and my wife, apart. I would not recommend these books to anyone.
