I cannot believe I found a book that treats sexual desire with respect and humor. Most books on this topic jump right into techniques, but this book helps me and my husband find the keys to communicating more effectively. My husband has just as much fun covering the topics as I do, and it is the first book we've read together in I don't know how long. Before reading this book we could not talk about the things that really bothered us and interfered with all the passion we used to share. Now it's a totally different story.

This book was recommended to me to help me understand the concept of "Power Reciprocity" and how power in a marriage needs to be shared. The author explains for couples to keep intimacy alive in the relationship, there must be reciprocity in power. This really helped me understand our relationship better. As a self confessed control freak, the author helped me understand how each person needs to have individual power for a balanced relationship. I also found the authors explanation of the difference between euphoric love and enduring love very helpful. Also helpful was an explanation of the couple boundary and what influences, both positive and negative, can impact the relationship. I wish the title was different because it may imply it's a book to get your mate back into bed but this book is really a relationship book to help you connect with your mate on a more balanced and intimate level. I highly recommend it.

It's an easy read for the lay person who has little background in psychology. There are some good, concrete suggestions and advice but it lacks substance and depth. It is much too simplistic! I found other books on this topic to be much better.
