This book seemed more like a muse for the author than a actual self help book. Like she was using it to get out some of her own issues rather than help the reader.

She swings from being very tactful and concerned about her audience to being very opinionated and coarse. For instance when approaching the subject of how every woman should feel comfortable in her own skin she lashes out at skinny women saying they are bony and unattractive and that real men want curves. I felt like I was More...

I have mixed feelings about this one and I gave it 3 (of 5) stars. On one hand, I like some of the things that are said. I like the fact that the author approaches sex between husband and wife as a God-given gift, a celebration, a need. It was one of those, "Get over the speed bumps and just have fun with each other!"-type of messages. I also appreciated the way she suggested we present the topic married-sex to our children. On the other hand, there was too much personal information. T More...

This is a fantastic book. It is conservative, because it is a Christian book about connecting with your Husband.

When I finished this, I was crying tears of joy as well as wanting to cheer. And I can truly say I already feel significantly more confident to approach my marriage bed with joy, greater freedom, and a stronger love for my husband and deeper gratefulness for the fantastic gift from God of sexual intimacy within marriage.

A little background on me, the reviewer: This book is the latest I've read in an effort to better understand myself, my relationship with my husband, and to overcome More...

I think this is a good book, but I think I just went into reading it with the wrong expectations. Also, the POV of the author is a little too conservative for my tastes.

(I discovered later that the author also writes Christian devotional-type books. Not my sorta thing, but I DEFINITELY feel led to commend her on her versatility! Sex books AND devotionals? That's what I call a colorful repetoire!)

However, I think many women could benefit from this book, and maybe I did su More...

A couple of friends loved this book so I bought it. Maybe my expectations were too great but it wasn't quite what I anticipated. It was an easy read and I'd recommend it if someone was looking for something along these lines....or I'd just give them my copy!

One of my favorite quotes from the book: (p. 232) "Perhaps rather than fear offending God with our sexual expression, we should fear offending God by our lack of it" (Shannon Ethridge).
