Customer Reviews

Become more confident.

It seems as though it's a rarity to come across a book that totally explains why the flame seems to die down once couples get married. This one does an excellent job of that and goes beyond the normal excuses of "boredom" and "no time". It's about becoming a more sexual being with your lover and opening yourself up to the sex you want. It has to be one of the better reads I've come across on the subject. I will keep this one around for a long while, that's for sure, as it has really helped me deal with things like this that I have needed to deal with. Also liked Sexually Shy: The Inhibited Woman's Guide To Good Sex.

Set me free and healing me sexually!!

GREAT book! Recommended by my therapist. Needed healing in sexual area after extensive childhood sexual abuse. I feel different about how God made me and have new freedom to fully enjoy. Woooooo Hooooo!! Thanks to the author, Shannon Ethridge.

VERY Helpful From Beginning To End

I read this in less than 3 days, and have been able to apply a lot of what I learned from it to my own life since then. I can truly say I feel significantly more confident to approach my marriage bed with joy, greater freedom, and a stronger love for my husband and deeper gratefulness for the fantastic gift from God of sexual intimacy within marriage. A little background on me, the reviewer: Due to my life experiences, I've had a lot of spiritual, mental and emotional wounds that have needed healing, especially regarding sex and my self-worth. I have read a LOT of books to that end. (For those needing similar healing in this area, I can highly recommend: Joyce Meyer's "Beauty For Ashes" and "Battlefield of the Mind", Shaunti Feldhahn's "For Women Only", Francine Rivers' "Redeeming Love", and for men especially: Michael Reagan's "Twice Adopted", amoung others) This book is the latest in my effort to better understand myself, my relationship with my husband, and to overcome any lingering issues from my past, so that I can be as fully loving a wife as possible, as well as to allow myself to be loved by my husband as fully as possible. I heard about this book and after reading a few reviews, decided to buy it. After ordering it online (and getting one extra for a girlfriend), I found some more reviews, and to my embarrassment, read that there are sketches in it. I hadn't known that when I ordered it. I worried, "I feel so embarrassed! What if they are really graphic?" But I decided that I wasn't going to judge it sight unseen. It arrived while I was getting my kids' lunch ready. I brought it in the kitchen, opened the box, and began flipping through it while I waited for the microwave to finish cooking their food. I figured I better get it over with and find out how "bad" the sketches were (in other words - were they just diagrams of anatomy, or...you know). *flip, flip, flip* "Oh, my WORD!" Blushing furiously, I closed the book and tossed it back in the box like a hot potato. I stood there in shock as my mind registered that I'd bought a book with drawings of couples in different sexual positions in it - and that I'd bought it for a Christian girlfriend as well! ("What will she think of me!?") I picked up the box and put it away in our bedroom and decided to wait to look at it any further until all the kids were down for a nap. Besides, it would give me time to determine if I was going to read it at all. (I know some of you are laughing right now. And that's okay.) After taking a breather, I said to myself "You know, those sketches are in chapter TEN. If I read the NINE chapters that come before them, then maybe I'll feel differently. I'll take this one chapter at a time." And that's what I did. And with each chapter, I grew more at ease with the topic. Not in an ungodly, "anything goes" way. But rather, what I read was helping me to get a right mindset about sex as God intended it. Practically speaking, what I read made sense, was challengin

Great Book!

This book covers all areas of a wife's sexuality and pulls no punches. Frank and explicit yet does not cross the line of offence or makes the average woman uncomfortable with suggestions or ideas. I have upcoming weddings and have purchased it for the brides as a wedding gift. However I am a 47 year old with two grown children and have been divorced and still find her thoughts and ideas informative, intriguing and useful.

Awesome resource for wives everywhere!

Wow, what a great book! It is packed full of wisdom on how to become sexually confident no matter who you are. It showed me how my confidence as a sexy attractive woman is not about my body but my mind. I recommend this book to every married woman. Your husband will thank you for reading it, and more that that YOU will be thrilled with your new mindset.
