Truly Becoming One

Problems in the bedroom? Never fear. *** BEGIN HERE*** Whatever you do, please don't go $pending thou$and$ of dollar$ on marriage counseling (like me) BEFORE you check out this handly little "how to" book written by the experts. Sex in the Christian Marriage is an excellent resource for any Christian couple interested in achieving the true spiritual oneness that God intended marriage to be. New and old Christians (even the really old ones) will benefit from the anatomical and practical information regarding the differences in the sexes. The content has a distinctly straightforward medical spin and lays out the kind of information you would expect to get in a good premarital sex education class or at a marriage seminar, but you probably won't because most people are not willing to teach others the detailed educational info you will find in this book. Plus, the M.D.'s are shrinks and at least one of them is bolder than the average shrink.Since lack of knowledge may be a hindrance to some couples I'd recommend reading it just to be on the safe side and to be certain both mates have the same intentions and are fully committed to a healthy biblical oneness in marriage. Authored by two Christian M.D.'s and ex-pastor, Richard Meier, now a Marriage and Family Therapist practicing at the Paul Meier New Life Outpatient Clinic in Richardson, Texas, along with his wife, Lorraine, they've utilized many years of counseling experience to provide sound medical knowledge on a variety of disorders and encouragement through case studies with some very happy endings. Those who did not live happily ever after, however, have not been included. If you have a resistant spouse, don't waste another moment waiting for them to see things your way, read this book and make practical applications in your personal behavior which will affect your marriage. God will sort things out. You may find your spouse pleasantly surprised when you take the initiative to spice things up a bit. Locate the local candle shops, bath and body shops, Christian music store and pick up a new nightie or two while you're busy filling up that shopping cart.This book is a MUST for all couples with young children in the home. The Enemy likes to attack young fathers while young mothers are busy focusing on the needs of small children. Men are often working longer hours in order for their wives to stay home with young ones and men face many temptations in the workplace. Every father of preschoolers ought to carry a copy of this book in his briefcase for some light reading at lunchtime. Some men may need to carry it in their front shirt pocket as a reminder or as a badge of marriage. (Great stocking stuffer too, the book is just the right size for your love's Christmas stocking!) Some men may get fresh ideas after reading this book and realize that women would prefer their time and attention versus material items.Those dabbling in cyberporn or wh
