  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;When Charla Muller&#8217;s husband turned 40, she gave him something memorable. Sex. Every day. For an entire year.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; The Mullers had a solid marriage and two wonderful children, but over the years sex had fallen low on their to-do list. The lack of intimacy wasn&#8217;t causing them to drift apart, exactly, but their connection didn&#8217;t seem as great as it could be. Charla decided she couldn&#8217;t go on pretending the relationship they once had wasn&#8217;t important.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; The couple would embark on a year of scheduled sex, falling over Tonka trucks and piles of laundry in an effort to make time for each other. There were obstacles along the way (work implosions, faking it) and questions came to light. Will sex every day strengthen a marriage, or reveal the cracks? Pull a couple together or drive them apart? Does good sex (even mediocre sex) make up for things that aren&#8217;t so good?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I promise this is not a dirty sex book! Granted, it's about marital intimacy, but it's written from a middle-aged Christian woman's perspective - no yucky slang or graphic scenes.  I highly recommend that every married woman read this.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Really engaging writer, but I felt done about half-way through.  It was a long year, I guess :)  Very tastefully written memoir on the life lessons she learned through increased intimacy.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't expect to like this very much, to tell the truth, but it was a nice lightweight paperback that seemed like it would be a good airplane read--and that's what I needed.

    <body><![CDATA[More a memoir of married life with children than  intimacy.  At times funny, at times just boring.  Very self congratulatory. The message of the book is to simply ' give it up' regularly.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wasn't prepared to like this book, especially since I didn't care the the opening chapter, but it was really good.  An eye-opener, and it really gave me some perspective on the effort we put into being good wives.  Thankfully, no graphic scenes like the title might lead you to believe.]]></body>
