5.0 out of 5 stars Many things I wish I knew when I was only 20
This is one of many books my fiance' and I have read as part of our premarital consoling (which we, as divorced people, are taking way more seriously than the wedding day plans). It is a good re-education about sex and how to truly love one another (Essentially make each lovemaking session a contest to outdo the other in bringing pleasure - and that takes some preparation and work, but it is a "good work", and creates a powerful bond between you). The book gave her and I a great platform for discussion. This book described some of the many disasters I and my ex-wife suffered 30 years ago resulting from bad attitudes we got from society or our previous bad experiences at the hands others, and a lack of education about love and sex. Much of the book seems obvious now, but it is not when you are young, and they give a good background and put a useful vocabulary to many topic areas, while discussing these areas with generally good candor. Perhaps I note following because of what I experienced - it also notes the "Leave and Cleave" concept and importance if you are young, and warns about the people (Aunt Matilda) trying to inject bad thoughts into your marriage and sex life, and how that is somehow found in every nation, every race, every tribe. I had a mother in law who I think must have truly hated men in general, openly absolutely despised sex, and sought to continualy disparage me to my wife and seek and destroy any happiness we had in our marriage. She finally won the war in 7 years, due to my lack of experience, assertiveness and/or inability to help my wife better see what her mom was doing, and choose to leave and cleave to me, versus "Mommy". Related: I have heard many women complain that "All men want is sex", but, I would offer, if it is that simple, i.e., "All men want is sex", you might find yourself with a "simple" solution to unlocking intimacy, assuming that all other areas in your relationship are going reasonably well. "Getting enough sex" is a huge anxiety for those with a sex drive higher than their partner (it is not always the guy, but most often). Reducing anxiety, of any type, is a good thing that you can do for each other. (Oh, and they warn against sex as a weapon - big intimacy destroyer). My Best Wishes to you and yours as you seek to apply the good thoughts this couple shared. Be all that you can be to each other in every way possible, not just sex. The book builds upon a strong Christain foundation (which works for us), but the importance of diligently developing authentic loving attitudes and practices would help anyone, and you get a lot of thoughts, ideas, and "case studies" on this that will give your relationship an advantage. You've heard the saying "The Devil is in the Details" - the details of your thoughts and attitudes are key. They also suggest other resources for your areas of interest or need.
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend
This book is extremely helpful! I thought I knew what I ought to know, but this book taught me soo much!Read during my engagement and will be getting married soon. Looking forward even more now that I’ve read this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Over all good info
Good book. Interesting info that I haven’t found previously in Christian books. I do think there are a few things I have a slightly different opinion on but good information otherwise.Recommend for immediate prior to marriage or newly married.
5.0 out of 5 stars Historical, Inspiring & Real
This is a novel and is written in the Christian genre. This book's design is simple. Joanne Bischof, the author, begins the book with a note about American Sign Language, because of the relevance to this book. She spreads her actual content across 35 short chapters. Bischof ends with an Epilogue and wraps the book up with a Note from the Author. She includes Discussion Questions at the end of the book, Acknowledgements, and an Author Bio. Joanne Bischof has won ACFW and Christy Awards for her writing. She also won Christian Writers Guild Novel of the Year and other honors for her writing.For over the first half of this book, I got lost in all the activity in the book. Part of it is because of the way this book is written. It is set in another time and culture. When I received the book, I did not expect it to be this hard to grasp at first. One of the characters is culturally Deaf, and his mode of communication is in American Sign Language. Three of the lead characters are related. This is a combination romance and action novel. I found this book pretty true to life. Two of the main characters have happy endings and resolve their issues, as does the one central character. One main character never resolves his issues, and things do not end well for this character. I got absorbed in the novel toward the end, and I was disappointed not to see full resolution. But this is true to life.I recommend this book for anyone who wants an alternative to the steamy, seedy, torrid novels available on the bookshelves today. This is about all I can say.I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review of the book. I was not required to give this book a favorable review.
Best Book Ever
This book is a must for engaged couples and those couples who have been just married or married for years. Do you want to increase your love life inside and outside of the bedroom? This is the book for you! Clear, concise and honest information for the couple who wants to grow together for the rest of their lives.
Awesome read for a newly married man.
This book is a must read. As being newly married most of these things parents won't tell you and even the church want say.
The Act of Marriage: The Beauty of Sexual Love
This is a must have book in every married couple's library. Its amazing how much you can learn from it. It addresses a lot of issues on sex, with detailed information on how our body works and responds to sexual love, carefully written in a godly way.
