I'm going to do it, I'm going to write a public review for a Christian book written entirely to help strengthen your marriage by promoting healthier relationships and not just good, but GREAT SEX. I am a conservative Anabaptist Mennonite Christian, now serving on the mission field with my husband in India. We are newlyweds, having been married (In India) the day after Easter this year. I purchased this book before we were married, but I'm going to admit - I was too shy to even read it on my e-ink kindle. I was ashamed, as if I had sneaked something dirty into our home...but, a few months into our marriage, quite frankly, I needed some help and advice from a married-for-years, godly elder woman in Christ. I found myself desperate enough for answers that I opened this book and began to read...and read....and read. I hate that the title of this book made me so ashamed, because I've learned that while sex is nothing to be ashamed of - we as Christians SHOULD BE experiencing AMAZING SEX with our husbands. It was not a fault of this author, it was a fault of my upbringing, and of conservative Christian teachings that made me ashamed of something as wonderful and beautiful as God created sex to be. Girlfriend, don't even think about it, just buy the book. Don't be scared, timid, or shy - just fork over the money and begin to read about all God created sex to be between you and your beloved. About two weeks into reading as much of this book as I could digest at one time, my husband finally asked me where in the world I was learning the things I was putting to use in our bedroom. I'm not sure if he wanted to give them a high-five, or buy a similar book for men; but he is very pleased. And, honestly, I'm so much more pleased! Sex is fun, but more than the one act, it's about intimacy and finding what makes your partner feel loved, connected and special. After reading this book, I find our sexual encounters far more satisfying, beautiful, and fulfilling. It's not easy to re-learn what you have misunderstood as long as I've misunderstood sex, but it's a journey I am so thankful to have started. My husband and I were both virgins when we married, and because of nerves, it took us three days to consummate the marriage. In America, I'd helped prepare honeymoon baskets for Christian sisters who were married - complete with lacy lingerie, paint brushes, honey, chocolate syrup, strawberries and truffles....but marrying into the Indian culture, I was so very wary of what I thought could offend my husband. Turns out, touch is one of his love languages...and that honeymoon basket would have been a welcome factor to him, though he says a manual or book could have helped him too. I've highlighted the section about places on a woman's body to explore for him - and after I finish this book, I intend to find a partner for it that he can read. Get over yourself and what you think you know, read this book, and see how godly a mutually satisfying sex life can be! I HIGHLY recommend this book to girls about to get married, BUT hey, when I've been on the phone with my mom since I've been reading this book, she's been taking down some notes, sooo... Yea. :D

Let me start off by saying I was super excited to buy this book. After read so many positive reviews I thought I’d give it a go. I’ve been with my husband 6 years and I’m new to the understanding that God actually made my marriage as close as it is intentionally. When stumbling upon this book I was actually looking for a book that would help me understand marriage in a biblical way. I was curious to see if what we have is that kind of marriage. We always had a happy/healthy marriage and oddly enough I felt guilty about that. Even more so when others around me didn’t have a relationship with there husband or wife like we do. This book has helped me with excepting that having a happy/healthy marriage while others I knew didn’t was nothing to feel guilty about. After reading this book I can say feel even more connected with my husband! Reading this book has opened my eyes a bit on what our relationship. There is even a lot of things we have already been doing and have worked on through the years. It’s a reaffirmation of of union and what it means in a whole. Sheila has just add so much more to the way I see God, how he loves us and how he is using my marriage to model that. Absolutely love how the she gives off the vibe of a friend just chats with you even as your blushing it out 😄 it still feels like a safe place. She’s funny and honest and bonus she’s teaching the Bible in a fresh way.P.s. new to marriage, need healing from the past, want to learn about relationship, want to spice it up, want to stand up for your marriage?! This is for you! Thanks Sheila for laying it all out there
