4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, November 30, 2004
By 
Mikered1 "mike" (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting Your Sex Life Off to a Great Start: A Guide for Engaged and Newlywed Couples (Paperback)
I read this book two months before I got married, and found it helpful for me. I prefer it over Tim LaHaye's book "The Act of Marriage" and Ed Wheat's "Intended For Pleasure". It was Biblical and covered the physical, psychological, and spiritual matters of sex. This book will help remove misconceptions about sex. My advice to any man getting married and purchasing this book is to make sure your future spouse reads it also, BEFORE you get married, regardless of her sexual past. The reason I say this is I could not get my wife to read this book, and she still holds on to her misconceptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Treat, January 25, 2004
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Getting Your Sex Life Off to a Great Start: A Guide for Engaged and Newlywed Couples (Paperback)
I just bought this book recently, and I think it's just great. I'm engaged, and although I'm not completely inexperienced, I was wondering what to do on my wedding night. This book is the best that I've read so far. They lay it all out, as naked as you'll be on your honeymoon! The authors don't skirt around their complete discussion of different sexual topics.

Although this is definitely a Christian book, you never get the feeling that the authors are moralizing or condemning you for things you have done in your past, or choose to do in your marriage. The drawings are very dry and clinical, and the text needs some editing. However, this still doesn't detract from the overall quality of the book. Especially if you're a virgin and are a little apprehensive of the first time, I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great information for first timers!, March 13, 2002
By 
"olas" (Costa Rica) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting Your Sex Life Off to a Great Start: A Guide for Engaged and Newlywed Couples (Paperback)
I liked this book a lot because it gives information
about sex from a Christian perspective. Unlike other
books on sex, it gives detailed information about
the first time, how to prepare for your honeymoon,
the first night together, etc. It even gives advice
about how to prepare physically for that night. Very
informative.
