Great!

I am a man that was greater understanding to see if I was a normal man in how I felt and I am! This is a great book for wives and wives to be. And it also explains what is Godly within a marraige. Great book!

Outstanding material written from women's perspective

In the journey of our own marriage me and my wife discovered the principal entailed in this book to be true. It was a nice refresher of what we had already discovered. This is written from a women's journey and perspective but I would highly recommend both men and women to read this. It is an outstanding must read book.

A great book for a wife and her husband

I heard Juli Slattery on the Focus on the Family radio program and thought what she said made a lot of sense. I told my wife that I thought she might benefit from reading the "No More Headaches" book because it would give her insight into the struggles that men face. I told her that I would like to read the book as well to see if Juli got it right regarding what being a man and husband was like. We both read the book and have been discussing a lot of things that are addressed in the book that have been problem areas in our relationship in the past. We are now closer than we have been in over 25 years of marriage. I told my wife that Juli is the Dilbert of relationships. We found ourselves being able to relate to almost every example that is used in the book. If nothing else the book makes you realize that you are not crazy and that there are common struggles. In order for the book to work, the wife and husband must be willing to discuss things in an open, honest, and trusting way. The book is definitely aimed at the wife, but I think it is a must read for both the wife and husband. If you are only looking for a "how to" book of ways to spice things up in the bedroom, then this book is not for you. However, developing a safe, secure, and nuturing relationship will definitely improve things in all areas, including the bedroom.

A Must Have Guide

I read No More Headaches: Enjoying Sex and Intimacy in Marriage in a about a week, which for me as rather quickly. I found myself captured by the realness of this book and couldn't find it in myself to put it down. I think it goes to show how much women really need a book like this in dealing with the know hows of understanding sex in a God centered marriage relationship. Author Juli Slattery has done a great job discussing the sensitive subject of sex by communicating a little more than her own hurts and frustrations. Sex is not the easiest subject to understand and talk with each other about, but in this book ways are suggested to approach it cautiously. Through scripture and real life stories the reader is shown several different approaches in their own behavior to help heal & mend their own personal sexual relationship. You'll find issues dealing with pornography, a man's sex drive, fatigue, children, boredom, past sexual issues, your body, and more. Sorry guys, this book is written for women, though I am sure a man could definitely learn a thing or two. Ladies, if your spouse is interested, you could go through the chapters together and talk about the various information found throughout this book. I think it's good for not only women to understand the differences of man but also for men to understand the differences of woman when it comes to sex. I would recommend this book to married and engaged women of all ages, as I know we all could use it in handling the good, bad, and ugly relational issues that come with marriage. 5 stars!
