A Marriage Must!,
By
This review is from: Sheet Music: Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage (Hardcover)
This title is the first one I have read by Dr. Kevin Leman. I am so impressed with him and his humorous, helpful style that he will likely be on my list of favorite authors. Leman's personality comes through strong in this volume about married life, laughter, and the language of love.I read this book first, and then my wife was so intrigued by my interest that she read it as well. My wife is normally not a reader of non-fiction, but this title held her attention to the very end. Both of us later described this volume by remarking, "This guy is so right on target with his description of what makes men/women tick!" Leman is a devout Christian, and as such remains within biblical guidelines in his sexual advice. He definitely is NOT however, puritanical by any means. He describes sex in marriage as a gift from God to be thoroughly enjoyed, not as a necessary evil to be endured. For years as a pastor I've recommended one other particular title to newlyweds as an "all-you-wanted-to-know-about-sex-but-was-afraid-to-ask" book. I am so impressed that this title will now replace it. Buy it for your marriage, read it in your marriage, and learn even more about this wondrous gift God has provided!

The Way the Creator Intended,
By JD (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sheet Music: Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage (Hardcover)
My wife and I both grew up in Christian households, in fact I now serve as a youth minister. One concession I have to make about my Christian upgbringing is that for every sermon or lesson I heard on sexuality, it seemed there was a differnt view expressed. In other words, I received so many different mixed signals about sex and sexual intimacy. So, when my wife and I had trouble truly connecting on this level, we tried to remember the advice we recieved in pre-marriage counseling, and sought advice from people we respected to no avail. When we began reading the book together, our eyes were opened. This subject that many people wouldn't touch with a 100 foot pole is addressed directy, lovingly, and, most important, spiritually. The biggest comment my wife made was that she felt it expressed the woman's side of the issue very well. She didn't feel degraded or feel as if it were telling her she is to be a sex slave (an attitude far to common in many cirlces).This book is great in the fact that it expresses what physical intimacy in the context of marriage really is, that both partners are responsible for it, and it presentes woderful advice that will improve the intimacy you have with your spouse. It has opened both of our eyes to how beautiful sexual intimacy in marriage truly is. This is not just a book about sex. I believe if read with an open mind and heart, this book can lead you and your spouse down a road not of just sexual intimacy, but to an intimacy that will extend to all parts of your marriage.

A Stirring Classic --- Encore!,
By FaithfulReader.com (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sheet Music: Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage (Paperback)
Psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Kevin Leman pulls back the sheets on the scintillating subject of sexual intimacy in his latest book, SHEET MUSIC. While it's a return of sorts to the territory that he covered in SEX BEGINS IN THE KITCHEN, Leman uncovers much more ground in this revealing look at the secrets to connubial bliss."It's not just a how-to-do-it manual," writes Leman. "This is more of a do-it-yourself look at why to do it and how to do it better." With his trademark wit and wisdom, Leman offers couples no-nonsense guidance for creating and keeping a satisfying sexual relationship. The provocative primer includes 31 ideas for sensual surprises, including a racy recipe for creating a chocolate bath complete with whipped cream. Also included for readers are helpful suggestions for identifying and satisfying not only the needs but also the desires of their spouses. "One of the most loving and holy things you can do in marriage is to provide a sexually fulfilling pursuit of your husband or wife," Leman writes. "Therefore without apology, this is the most explicit book I've ever written. Probably everybody will be offended by at least one thing I say in this book." Leman confesses that the book was the hardest to write of the 25 titles he's written to date and even goes so far as to include a brief note to readers, admitting that part of what is included in the book may be too forward for some. For readers in premarital counseling specifically, he suggests saving the second half of the book for the honeymoon. In the chapter titled "A Very Special Connection," Leman addresses several of the more common sexual positions and even some of the not-so-common ones. Later in the book, he is supportive of oral sex, devoting an entire chapter to "Oral Delights." Throughout the book, Leman stresses the need to consider the appetites of one's spouse and suggests never coercing them into any type of sex act unwillingly. The law of love is to rule in the bedroom as much as any place else, he maintains. Arguably somewhat graphic in places for a Christian sex guide, the book nevertheless excels at confronting unhealthy sexual inhibitions in the name of liberating couples' God-given passions for their own good. While not for the faint of heart, SHEET MUSIC is a much-needed resource for recovering sexual intimacy in marriage. Leman has composed a stirring classic, moving readers to create beautiful music together. Encore! --- Reviewed by Sean Fowlds
