Sheet Music is a fun and frank book about sex as God intended it to be, dispelling any preconceived notions that sex is immoral (at least in the context of a monogamous marriage). I won't dive into too much detail in my review of the book--for mine and my husband's sake, as well as yours--but overall, I'm glad my husband and I read it together.

Sheet Music was written by Dr. Kevin Leman, a psychologist that deals with marriage and family issues. He is very much a man's man, which shows through in More...

This book was recommended to Eric and I when we were in pre-marital counciling. It has a good bit of advice and information on sex, which was helpful for both of us. It gave some general information on what to expect when you first have sex and things like that as well as information on sex within marraige and how that works, advice, tips and so on.

Pros-- gave us some good "what to expect" info for our wedding night, had some fun creative ideas to use in the bedroom, Eric related well to the in More...

Note: This is a book for married Christians. This review was written with that in mind. Please use caution and keep yourself and your mind pure. This review was originally posted by me on www.chrsclvngr.com

I love my marriage. Every single aspect of it. I also love reading books about marriage. When Melissa and I were wed I purposed to read at least one book about love or marriage every year. This year Melissa read "Sheet Music: Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage" and thoroughl More...

I'm generally not inclined to read books related to marriage, and then certainly not inclined to share with others if I do. Heaven forbid someone judge my marriage by a book I read and invent some problems that don't exist. But, here's the deal, I read books about parenting all the time. I don't read them because I'm having a problem or think I'm a bad mom, I just want to be better. And so it is with marriage, I have a great one, but maybe I can be an even better wife if I think about it half as More...

This is an important book for christian people about to be married or married. This is a funny book, a book that will make you blush, a book that will help keep the marriage strong out of the gate, increase intimacy and joy, or save your marriage. God gave sex as a gift and to populate the earth, so its important we take advantage of both to strengthen our marriages and glorify God.

For men who think they know it all, you will realize you don't. For women who think they are in control by withhold More...

“Goede, gezonde seks is een geweldige uitvinding die fysiek, relationeel, psychologisch en zelfs spiritueel prachtige dingen voor ons doet.” (p.246) En wat te denken van de uitdaging oprecht te kunnen bidden: “Lieve God, help mij om te weten hoe ik mijn partner vanavond seksueel kan bevredigen – en geef mij vervolgens het verlangen om dat te doen.” (p.247). De lezer(es) die het zo lang met dr. Leman heeft volgehouden in dit boek, heeft genoeg huiswerk (nadenken, gesprekken, en…). Plaats van hand More...

A very frank and insightful look at relationships in general and marital sexual relationships in particular. I don't want to go into too much detail given the graphic nature of the book, but I do want to mention a few things.

This book is faith based more than anything else. I found that to be very refreshing and made it easier to wade through some of the more 'direct' parts of the book.
I found that Dr. Leman's insights into the male psyche and needs, desires, etc were spot on. This led me to the More...

This was a very frank, very descriptive book about the joys of sex between a husband and a wife. Dr. Leman's insights into women are pretty accurate (he pretty much had me pegged on several things), and it was interesting to read his insights into men as well. This was a freebie from Amazon for the Kindle that I "bought" and I'm very glad I did. As soon as I finished, I suggested that my husband read it as well. I wish we'd found this book earlier, to be honest!

As he recommends in the book, the More...

I had a HUGE problem with Kevin Leman's Sheet Music. Primarily, the book deserved to be written in cooperation with a woman as well. Leman writes a book about sexual intimacy for married people from a Christian psychologist's perspective, but unfortunately for Leman and for his readers, that perspective is decidedly male.

Leman is rather controversial, but that isn't what upset me about this book. What really got under my skin was how much he chastised women for their role in creating a bad marit More...

God designed sex as a gift of pleasure and closeness and to man and woman, populate the earth, so its important we take advantage of both to strengthen our marriages and glorify God.

For men who think they know it all,this book proves we don't. For women who think they are in control by withholding sex will soon lose their husbands attention, and possibly lose them all together (sad but true) if they do not give this part of love freely and unconditionally. Sex is a most important part of a great More...

This was an eyeopener for me because I didn't have a lot of experience (and Im still learning) on the topic of sex. I know it's probably silly of me to recommend this book, when a lot of people nowadays think that sex is so easy. But this book uncovers a lot about both sides to the story, so as to reveal secrets that wouldn't otherwise be known.

I really enjoyed not only the Bibical perspective on the married couple sexual relationship, but also a man's perspective - an obviously intelligent man, at that. This is my first Dr. Leman book I've read, but not my last, for sure. For a "self-help" type book to hold my attention enough for me to not only finish it, but for me to truly learn from it, it has to be engaging, witty, well written and to the point. This book was definitely all that for me.

Now saying all that, I will say, I didn't a More...

When this book showed up free for the kindle the other day, I was too intrigued not to download it and give it a try. I had no idea how amazing it would be. It's about sex, yes, but it's about so much more than just that. You could strike the word "sexual" out of the title and it would probably be more accurate. Yes, of course there's stuff about "technique." But what makes this book shine is the peek you get inside each gender's mind and thought process. I kept asking my husband, "Is that how y More...

This book is by a christian psychologist who makes a point of directing his writing towards Christian audiences: Bible refernces, etc. It didn't turn me off but it's worth mentioning because it's a big part of the book.

That being said, he's a strong proponent of no sex before marriage and this book is a recommended read for couples in pre-marital counseling.

Also, he's against living together and offers statics whereby he shows that a good chunk of couples who live together before getting married More...

For a book with a very Christian view point on sex, I found a lot of good information and advice. Leman has a very direct, and sometimes, blunt approach that leaves very little room for ambiguity. His descriptions of how both men and women differ in their approaches to intimacy seems dead-on to me.

There are a lot of simple suggestions that make sense. He coaches women to tease their husbands back and tells husbands that they need to step it up a bit around the house. One thing he makes clear is More...

An entertaining and interesting read. However, I would only recommend it to a limited group of people. If you are at all squeamish about explicit (however appropriate) discussions of sex this book might be too intense for you (he does a step by step of what should happen on a wedding night for example). Also if you are not a Christian do not read this book! Things that are not intended as misogynistic will seem to be if you come at this book without a Christian understanding of marriage and the More...

I got a recommendation for this book while I was on vacation so I got it and we read it together on the way home. We've been married for 13 years and we were sitting in the front of the car, giddy and trying to quietly read chapters aloud to each other as the other one drove, our five children in the back.

Even if you have a great marriage, as I consider mine to be, this is a great book for strengthening your relationship by providing improving your physical relationship. It provides just the rig More...

If you are a wife, reading a book like this a great investment in a top priority (sex) and speaks volumes to your husband about your love for him. My hubby loves it when I read any book about sex, and usually ends up stealing it from me : ). This book was was no exception.

This book is far more detailed and explicit than "Turn up the Heat" by Kevin Leman. Look at that book if you want a Q/A format on some general subjects, and read this book for if you want specific details and lots of suggestio More...

We have been married 19 years now.
The book was recommended to us, so we got it and took it on our 19th aniversary 4-day trip away.
We spent a few hours each day reading to one another. (Both of us had been married before)
Yet at 50 and 58 we found healing from things we had held on too, we laughed and laughed at other things. While our marriage has been on the mend for over a year, God has worked miricales in our marriage, this seemed to be the Icing on the Cake, no pun intended :)

I recoment this More...

Okay, I'm married. Have been for ages and ages. I chose this book as research for a book project of my own. What a surprise! Dr. Leman does an absolutely superb job with a touchy subject. Though designed for newlyweds, I found myself enjoying a whole treasure-trove of ideas and suggestions. The best part, Leman manages to bring his expertise to this subject without being stodgy, or pushy, or opinionated. Instead, the tone is light and playful and full of promise. I HIGHLY recommend this book to More...

Kevin Leman beschreibt alles Mögliche aus dem Bereich der Sexualität auf eine erfrischende, offene und humorvolle Art, die einem das Lesen sehr leicht macht.
Im Buch finden sich sehr viele gute Anregungen zum Gespräch mit dem Partner über die Sexualität in der Beziehung und viele Formulierungen, bei denen ich dachte: "Ja, genau so ist es, aber ich hätte das nie so ausdrücken können."
Insgesamt ein sehr lohnendes Buch für Verheiratete, auch wenn sie keine Christen sind (auch wenn dann vermutlich ei More...

This book was recommended to me as a premarital counseling book. I originally wasn't interested in reading it, but when I found out the Kindle eBook was free, I thought "why not?" The author gives a frank - sometimes humorous and sometimes serious - look at sex within marriage. It is written from a Christian perspective, and in my opinion lines up well with the Bible's views on sex. I would definitely recommend it to any engaged Christian couples. It's kind of like having the answers to all of t More...

This book should be required reading for every newlywed couple!!! We have already purchased them for our kids are engagement presents. that's how serious I am! ZI recommend this book to every married woman but especially LDS and Evangelical women. He presents sex in such a wonderful light and soeaks VERY frankly about men and women and our marital obligations to each other. BE WARNED... he speaks Biblically NOT in PC terms of marriage. May seem old fashioned to some butwilliam and I read it on o More...

A very honest book on married sex.

FANTASTIC! A great (and Godly) source of information before (or during) marriage. Dr. Leman presents the information well, and without being too sterile (or too graphic!).

Dr. Leman has his opinions, but is always quick to point out that you need to know your spouse first. There are chapters geared toward couples headed toward marriage, but also basic information about understanding the differences in the way women and men's brains work.

I would recommend this to anyone approaching marriage, or a More...

Wow.

Oh, how I wish I'd read this book before I got married. I think it would have spared us both a lot of needless confusion, frustration, and unspoken expectations.

This book captured me almost immediately. The straightforward masculine viewpoint of the psychologist/author was refreshing rather than clinical. And while his perspective is a decidedly Christian one, his style is humorously candid and unabashed. His simple, conversational approach makes for fast and easy reading--though, I found m More...

This is a good book for married couples who have become more like roommates than lovers. It talks about the importance of sex in marriage and that it is our way to give ourselves to another completely. There are good ideas about being alone together, setting the mood and adding a little variety. There is also a lot of emphasis on getting to know your spouce. The author is not Catholic so he does not take Church teaching into account. Having read Humane Vitae, Love and Responsibility, and Theolog More...

Even though I disobeyed the author and read the whole book (not just the first four chapters) before I got married, I have to say that there's nothing shocking here. While this is a book that addresses sex from a "Christian" perspective (that is, it stresses that sex is supposed to be saved for marriage, that God made sex, etc.), Dr. Leman still bases the majority of the text on credible psychology, not the Bible, which I respected him for a LOT. The book wasn't preachy at all and was very acces More...

A decent enough book, if not earth shattering--it seems like most of these books cover the same basic stuff. Leman presents the material in a more lighthearted and "humorous" tone than, say, Ed Wheat (Intended for Pleasure). And Leman is less clinical as well, which makes sense since Leman is a counselor/psychologist and Wheat is a physician.

Leman markets his book as appropriate for couples at all stages of their relationship--engaged couples, newlyweds, and veterans of marriage. Leman is parti More...

My premarital counselor recommended this book to me and my fiancée with the warning to listen to the author as to how far to read in this book. He also put it very plainly (while blushing like a fire truck) that this book is about sex.

Well, this book is quite plainly about sex and how important it is for a marriage. It was written by a Christian and is not shy about it's topic matter. This book goes into a lot of detail about Sex and what it means to a relationship. I would recommend it to any c More...
