Is That All He Thinks About?: How to Enjoy Great Sex with Your Husband [Paperback]

Marla Taviano (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2007

For many married women, their sex life is a source of frustration instead of the pleasure they expected. Author Marla Taviano believes most women need an attitude adjustment before they and their husbands will experience a fulfilling sex life.

With candor, Marla helps women view sex God’s way and:

• stop the “meet my needs; then I’ll meet yours” mindset
• celebrate God’s plan for women to be godly and sexual
• seek forgiveness for past sexual impurities and move on
• get creative, spice up lovemaking, and increase desire

Marla debunks myths, calls women on their own issues, exposes the joy of sex, and presents hopeful advice that new or veteran brides will gratefully refer to again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I thought, February 6, 2007

This review is from: Is That All He Thinks About?: How to Enjoy Great Sex with Your Husband (Paperback)

When I began reading the first chapter of this book, I knew my life was going to change. I expected to pick up this book and read all about what my husband was doing wrong in the area of sex. I thought (and perhaps even hoped) that the book would give me all kinds of tips to share with my husband in order to make him more sensitive to my needs. Fortunately, that was not the case. After completing the first chapter, I gave it time to sink in. I had never heard this outlook on sex before, and immediately, my attitude toward the subject changed completely. I rediscovered the joy of sex, and I am forever grateful to Marla Taviano for writing about something that we all need to read. I would definitely recommend this book to EVERY married woman.

This review is from: Is That All He Thinks About?: How to Enjoy Great Sex with Your Husband (Paperback)

Is That All He Thinks About by Marla Taviano is a fantastic read about the Christian outlook on sex. I was hesitant about the book at first, but the blurb on the back from the writer's husband Gabe made me take a look: Buy this book, read it and do everything Marla says. In the end, it was a great read. I learned a lot about how men think and why sex is so important to marriage. Taviano makes excellent points throughout. Women don't need sex to maintain their equilibrium like men do, but that's no reason for us to ignore their needs. She addresses it well in a conversation with a friend in which she asks what the friend's favorite things to do are. The friend responds with shopping and scrapbooking. Taviano asks her how often she would get to do those things if she could only do them with her husband. The friend answered "not very often, that's why I do them with my friends." But Taviano explains that sex is one of our husbands' favorite things to do, and they can only do it with us. Is it fair to not give them that opportunity? While many women (me included), use the excuse that if he was more understanding, sympathetic, helpful, etc., he'd get more, Taviano points out that we're going about it all the wrong way! Sex for men is a need, for most women it doesn't even register on their radar, but when a man's needs are being met, he's more likely to meet his wife's needs for cuddling, help around the house, and a sympathetic ear. She uses Bible verses to make many of her points, especially Song of Solomon. This book is a real eye-opener giving a new perspective on sex within the marriage. One small warning: the book is about sex, so it's occasionally graphic.
