This book is boring and is filled with inapplicable situations for us and just didn't have hardly anything we found to be helpful in preparing us for marriage. I hope that Christians start to really talk about sex honestly and openly to help each other, b/c there are a lot of couples struggling and hurting w/ nowhere to turn except books like this one that just aren't that practical or helpful. In that spirit, I am going to share our story and hopefully it might help someone else out there. My husband and I are Christians...unfortunately we had sex w/ each other in college before we got married, but we repented and stopped and so we were excited about our honeymoon night to say the least. We had this book with us but didn't think we'd need it since we already knew "it worked." Well, our wedding night was a disaster in the sex department. It didn't even work! We both panicked. The rest of the honeymoon wasn't great either and I was frantically reading this book for help and we didn't find much b/c sex hurt me very bad and we had no idea why. After months of worrying and our situation only getting worse, I went to a gyno to see if something was wrong. She said that birth control can cause "dryness," and sex just doesn't work if you have that problem and it can be so dry that any lubricant isn't going to help...and that was my situation. So I got off birth control, we were prego 2 months later and we started to have wonderful sex. So 6 years and four precious children later, here we are, I will never touch birth control hormones again b/c I believe they are unnatural and horrible for a woman's body and know many wives who feel the exact same way about it. I also know Christian people who have gotten divorces a year or less after getting married b/c sex on birth control simply didn't work, but kids weren't an option. We had no idea. So I don't know what book would have helped us back then, but now we are reading "When Two Become One" by McCluskey and LOVE it and are about to read "A Celebration of Sex" by Rosenau...we just need a refresher course and reminder on the purpose of God's creation of sex and some how-to helpfulness b/c we've never had a "regular" sex life with my being pregnant so much...and we've never had anyone to talk to about our "issues." I never would have dreamed that this would be the path our lives would take but I couldn't be more thankful as it's taken the focus off me...at first that was miserable, but now it is so much more rich and fulfilling a life as it's not all about me anymore...which may have been God's purpose all along ;)

I actually bought this book as a bridal gift. It was highly recommended by Pastor Mark Jobe when I attended his conference he spoke on "Singleness". He cautioned it should only be read by someone ready to wed.

I'm about to get married in three weeks. When my friend who has been married just under 8 months suggested this book to me, I was skeptical. It didn't look appropriate for someone not yet married. I started reading it and after just a few moments I realized that this author had really hit the mark. I'll still be nervous on my wedding night, but I think I have a much clearer idea of what to expect. My fiance read it, too, and feels assured now that we'll be ok. This would make a great bridal shower gift for any couple, and is also great for couples who have been married for years (so I've been told).

This book was given to me after three years of happy, successful marriage. I suspect now that the motivation stemmed more from a lack of grandchildren than any concern over my sex life with my husband. I ended up tossing it in a box to moulder after the first couple of chapters, and it certainly hasn't hurt my marriage in the least to ignore the so-called advice in it.
I found the text to be utterly useless, and offensive to my intelligence and sense of worth as a woman. The biology section, though dry, was at least relatively factual. I frankly stopped reading when I discovered that the sexual technique section was horribly lacking in information and sadly out of date. There are less than half a dozen possible positions listed, and most of those are just slight variations on plain old Missionary. I don't recommend anyone limit themselves to the stiltedness in these pages. There are MUCH better guides out there.
Don't bother buying this one. It's a waste of money, not to mention time.
