Customer Reviews

Dr. Rosenau's work is an outstanding accomplishment

At the age of 49, this is the first book I have ever read about sex and one I would buy for my daughter and son in law. I can't imagine a more open and uninhibited discussion of what is the ultimate form of communication between a husband and wife. Dr. Rosenau has removed the plain brown wrapper on this all important subject. In a day when so many marriages end tragically, I can't help but think this fine work could not help reduce the numbers. ...

Great Resource for Counseling

I have used this text for both premarital and marital counseling since it was first published. It is excellently written and biblically sound. When complemented with other texts by James Dobson, Gary Smalley and Ed Wheat, it makes an unbeatable resource to help couples gain a healthy, biblical view of sexuality in marriage.

More than just sex.

This book presents a scriptural discussion of sexual relations within the confines of marriage. Because good sex is more than just good technique, it doesn't stop there. The best possible sex comes from the best possible relationship. So this book starts by helping a couple develop the best possible relationship and then moves on to technique.By the way, if you think the Bible is prudish when it comes to sex, then you haven't been reading your Bible. And, although this book is written from a scriptural point of view to married couples, it is anything but prudish. Prudent? Yes. Prudish? Not a chance.

An overwhelmingly positive view of Christian sexuality.

This book is probably the single best evangelical marriage manual on the market, complete with explicit but tastfully done drawings and unflinching examinations of various sexual issues. The contextualizing of sex into the larger sphere of marital relationships is especially helpful; communications between husband and wife about sex or anything else can be greatly improved if one heed's Rosenau's parameters for communication.
