About the author

Dr. Hughes has taken his knowledge of sex therapy and his passion for the LDS faith and merged the two into a guide for sexual discovery. Years of teaching, counseling, supervising, and researching fill the pages of this book. Dr. Hughes has been asked by many academics, scholars, and LDS members to write a book that will facilitate sexual understanding, growth, and skill while still adhering to the values and beliefs of the LDS church. Other books written by authors have fulfilled a need. However, important details and how to elements have been neglected. This book provides cutting edge theory and application on how to bring sexual pleasure into a covenant marriage. Dr. Hughes accepted the challenge to write a book that is informative, wholesome, and direct that will meet the unanswered questions so many seek.

Reviews

[Dail Allen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not very helpful. Would not recommend. Very little useful content.

[Aislinn Watson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic! Very to-the-point and full of practical solutions for LDS couples wanting to improve their sexual relationship.

[Emily Nelson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great overview of the sexual response cycle, encompassing not only the physiological aspect but the emotional and spiritual as well. Would recommend to newlywed (or non-newlywed) LDS couples, especially those struggling to create the sexual relationship they want. Lots of practical ideas for couples to apply what they are learning.

[Hailey Fackrell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a really good book! It was direct and honest but very appropriate for married couples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to work on their marriage and be more intimate with each other. Highly recommend as a great marriage book read!

Would be good for newlyweds. Is kind of repetitive but has some good nuggets in there!
