Summary: she is a bee-otch
Review: I am a disabled woman in excessive pain at all times, have very little pain medication that really works. She told me once that I should go to work--because my husband wanted to "Live Better" as she put it. She knew nothing of our financial status at that time--(which was above average). She only assumed that I was this whining woman that just needed to go to work. I have seen her on television countless times, she always takes the side of the man. I was quite angry with her stereotyping and "pat" answer. I actually Know a woman whose husband won't allow her to work. Pepper needs to pep up on all different types of people--and women.

Summary: The real issues involved in loving and living with an equal
Review: I think "LOVE BETWEEN EQUALS" can give any two people who really desire to have a true sense of equality in their marriage or partnership - a GAUGE by which they can isolate the important issues in relationship and a way to measure how they are doing with these issues. If they take the various issues presented and discuss them fully and fairly, they will know what is working about equality in their relationship and which areas need work. It is not for those with namb-pamby relationship (just foolin around stuff) or those where one person dominates and wants to continue dominating - the risk of becoming equal may be too threatening. It is not a how-to book. It does not have to be. It doesn't tell you how to achieve equality. What it does teach you to do, as I said before, is to think about what equality really looks like and how to check your relationship out. If you want to do something about it, you will probably need other help. But this book will give you a handle on what it is you need to do and it should be thoroughly digested and discussed, before deciding what your next steps are on the way to having that sense of equality. I would be glad to discuss what I wrote with anyone. WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY BE DANGEROUS TO LOUSY RELATIONSHIPS!

Review: The questions of power and equality must not be thrown out of the window in the name of marriage. I have thought this for many years.
Reading "Love Between Equals" helped me discover that I am not alone.
While stressing that it takes work to maintain a peer (sexual) relationship, Dr. Schwartz paints a picture of the lasting satisfaction that results when a couple actively rejects the dominant-submissive model.
