Reviews for Married Sex

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Life changing life changing life changing book. Every couple should be handed this book on or before their wedding day. I wish we had it sooner but thankful for the wisdom now. Biblical, so much wisdom and I love that there’s sooo many different couples represented
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very good book! Shows how enjoying sex is not only for the man, but also the woman, and encourages both to pursue pleasure for themselves in addition to each other.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This was so bad, and it comes from such a wonderful author.
The message is the old worn out lie… men need sex and women need to give it. Oh boy… there’s nothing in here about having good enriched sex that the wife wants… just give because he needs. It even says to “flash a boob” if you get in a fight, it will stop the fight and you will get your way…
