How to find a path to a healthy intimacy. By Richard Schwartz http://www.alternet.org/sex-amp-relationships/why-some-people-hate-sex-fascinating-psychology-behind-sexual-revulsion Mark and Stacey, an attractive couple in their early thirties, have only been married two years and they're already knotted in conflict.
