Customer comments on this selection.
 Not so hot.
I was given this book by my therapist to read. I found that a few points were interesting and informative, but overall, the book was a snooze. It seems to be made for the older crowd, not so much the young twenty-something-to-be-newlywed. Chapter 10 is ESPECIALLY a crock, titled, "The 'Perfect' Wife." That was what really turned me off to the book and made me think this was totally not worth my time. There are much better books on this subject out there.
Okay, But Lacking In Many Areas
I commend this book, because unlike many other sex manuals, the authors bring God into the equation. However, there appeared to be a lack of awareness that women are just as sexual as men are. The idea that women should participate in sex just because her husband is in the mood even if she isn't, is an idea that should have died a long time ago. While I agreed that sex toys create responses artificially, I did not agree with the author's view that they should be banned from the bedroom. They talked against oral sex, which is another way for a woman to reach orgasm other than the manual stimulation the authors kept going on about. In fact, it didn't seem much encouragement was given to couples' experimenting with what works for them. The techniques presented in the book are only a few of what is available to married couples. I would recommend this book with hesitation to couples who are virgins, and steer them towards other manuals for further details. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to any couple who already has the experience.
 Pretty good book
I got this book as part of premarriage counseling, and overall it was a good book. Good information for people of various sex knowledge levels. However, the book was comical at points and seemed a bit old fashioned/impractical. For example, a wife should have dinner on the table and look her best when her husband comes home from work. It also said that couples should not own a TV for the first year of their marriage. Already broke that rule.
 Best Christian sex manual out there!
The Wheat's really know what they are talking about...and it was fun to read with my new husband. I would recommend this book to everyone, not just Christians, who are about to make the jump to wedded bliss. Probably better to read a month before the wedding...otherwise that first night can be like fumbling around in the dark. Highly recommended.
Wonderful and educational
This book is wonderful! I bought it just prior to my wedding. It is a bit like going back to middle school sex-ed, but it proved invaluable for the honeymoon. The authors deal expertly, honestly, and sensitively about the subject.
