Eye-opening look at the role of sex in a Christian marriage

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.

Not at all what I thought

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.

A Book to be Read Over & Over

In this book the author does an exceptional job of tackling this subject in a Christ-honoring way. One of the best aspects to this book is the emphasis on prayer and how that can impact every area in a marriage-even sex! Personally, I couldn't put the book down, and I would encourage wives of all ages to read this book-it's a gem.

Great read

This book is simple in its approach but powerful in its message. It encourages wives to seek God's guidance in this sensitive area of their marriages. Marla is honest and candid about issues that we all face but we rarely talk about. I found myself having a hard time putting it down as it kept me wanting to read more. You won't be sorry if you take the time to read it.

Honest, real, and fun!

In her book, Marla tells it like it is--girlfriend to girlfriend. You'll find answers to questions you've been embarassed to ask, ideas to spice things up, and straight talk without crossing the line. Marla shares honestly about her own life, includes thoughts and experiences from other women, and provides encouragement, hope, and godly teaching. Whether you're a new bride or a long-time wife, you'll benefit greatly from this incredible book!
