5.0 out of 5 stars Must for Newly Weds!!!!

R.H. · January 9, 2009

If you are getting married BUY THIS BOOK!!!! It will save you from so many issues that can hurt your marriage. If possible have both of you read in in the month or so before the wedding. This book helped us have an Awesome honeymoon with realistic expectations for people who saved themselves for marriage. It also helped us talk through important things we would not have thought about prior to the wedding. So I consider this book essencial!!! Even if you are not newly weds the information in this book can help renew the sex life in your marriage. Basically...Get this book!!!

Great book to help married couples

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book on the Techniques of Love Making from a Biblical Understanding of Marriage

L.U. · June 5, 2009

The book isn't an encyclopedia and nowhere claims to be. It's a book written by a Christian doctor that deals with a majority of his common physiological and emotional problems experienced by couples who seek his help. This book helps a wife or husband understand why some things "don't work" and how the other partner "works best", both physically and emotionally. It gives a ton of information that most "christian counselors" would have little to no access to (medical and physiological issues) and has better theology than a majority of the "Christian" relationship books. It contains dozens of illustrations of how specific problems (like premature ejaculation or female pelvic congestion) lead to couples having dry, or even unbearable sexual experiences for years, and how those situations were turned around by some simple medical information and re-orientation of thinking (usually away from sinful selfishness in the bedroom).As I've read the book in comparison to other "Christian" books that offer solutions based upon a biblical understanding of marriage and love, it's far and away the best on the issues related to physical intercourse. It talks about marriage and intimacy from a biblical perspective and deals with issues that other books cannot touch.If you're a husband or wife, you NEED to study your spouse and learn about them and yourself. It's your duty that will become your delight, and I recommend this book with little reservation as a guide to understanding the physiological aspects of yourself and your spouse, sexually speaking. I also strongly recommend "Sweethearts for a Lifetime" and "Strengthening your Marriage" by Wayne Mack, "The Excellent Wife" by Martha Peace, "The Exemplary Husband" by Stuart Scott, "Christian Living in the Home" and "Solving Marriage Problems" and "The Case of the Hopeless Marriage" by Jay Adams, "How to Act Right When Your Spouse Acts Wrong" by Leslie Vernick, and "Each for the Other: Marriage as It's Meant to Be" by Bryan Chapell.Enough marriage end in flames because people are clueless about the whole operation. Don't be.The Lord won't excuse a mediocre, sinful marriage because you plead ignorance. Order this and a few other books and invest your mind in the person to whom you pledged your heart before the God who will call you to account for both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intended for Pleasure. A Practical and well written book for couples.

M.H. · July 19, 2015

What a blessing to have such a godly man and his wife write a book such as this. It's a very well written book and a perfect gift for newly weds. Even we old folks married for 48 years appreciated the information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Conditio

L.M.A. · May 15, 2014

I had read the book previously and it came in perfect condition. It is very insightful for Christian young people who are concerned about the future, but don't talk about their moral future as newlyweds due to discomfort in discussing that type of topic. I am thankful I kept morally pure and that I was very naive. This book helped me know some things that will be very helpful as a new wife and I appreciate that it was written by a Dr. and his wife that love the Lord. Thank you!

Ought to be read by everybody! With all the misconceptions and perversions of sex in the world, read this and find out God's plan. It is odd that people will study for years for their profession, but will refuse to spend a few evenings reading a book about something as important as marriage. They think they already know it all, and then end up divorced. If only people would follow the advice in this book, what a different place the word would be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Preparation

C. · August 3, 2000

Our Pastor had us purchase this book about midway through our marriage counseling, in preparation for the wedding night.It supplied much good information that saved us some problems and allowed us to be better prepared for details as they came up.Dr. Wheat can be a bit dry at times but he is complete in his presentation. There is much help in this book for all kinds of things. And better yet from someone with a Christian perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading

B. · October 25, 2012

We discovered this treasure 25 years ago, and it changed our marriage. This is the marriage counseling that every couple should have BEFORE they are married--it will make a tremendous difference in their relationship to each other and to the Creator of the bodies INTENDED FOR PLEASURE. Even after years of marriage, the information in this book will enhance the marriage relationship. Buy it, read it, give it as a gift, pass the information on.

Excellent ouvrage

s. · December 10, 2007

Un vrai guide pour tous ceux qui croient dans les valeurs du mariage (chrétien, mais pas seulement!). Explique bien le fonctionnement du corps et des organes génitaux, et très profond en même temps.Recommande vivement à tous ceux qui se préparent au mariage, à ceux qui sont mariés, mais également aux adolescents, pour découvrir leur corps sans tabou, mais avec pudeur et dans le respect.Ecrit par un spécialiste - médecin, basé sur la Bible.Le livre peut être d'une grande aide quand on rencontre des difficultés à vivre notre sexualité.(Dommage qu'il n'existe pas en français - avis aux amateurs! :)

A 'must have' book for Christian couples.

M.W. · July 24, 2021

Very interesting book. Having come from the world, but whose husband is still in the world, the content would have helped back then to realise that once married, then what happens in our married life does not need to change drastically.Loving each other as husband and wife and sharing everything is what God intended for us to do, without any sense of guilt. It has helped me tremendously.

Thoroughly recommended for engaged/newly married couples

t. · May 29, 2013

A great read, covering all the topics that are so often left unspoken. Good background based on biblical ideas and a good practical guide to the mechanics as well as the emotional side of sex and marriage. If you're looking for a book on this topic, go for this one.
