A basic book of marriage
Very good book, which everyone who is going to be married should read. It does give good guidelines to enter the act of marriage. It deals with those problems which unfortunately most men and women have with sex. --This text refers to the mass market paperback edition of this title

Bless Mrs. LaHaye
I have always followed Mrs.Betty Bowers suggestions in life, so I was thrilled with her recommendation,as I was married 2 weeks ago. This book gave me many hints on how to have a truly Christian relationship,and I am so grateful to Mrs. LaHaye for writing such a frank, plain-speaking book. This is a great resource for those that are making a new start,and while you can't physically regain your virginity,you can rinse those wicked years out of your hair. A beautiful woman,and a beautiful book.

Clean and Tasteful
The authors did an excellent job of tastefully explaining the basics of a very personal and private subject. A must for every newlywed couple. A must for marriage counselors and clergy. A must for anyone wanting to understand what is happening with their bodies, regardless of how long they've been sexually active. --This text refers to the mass market paperback edition of this title

I LOVED THE ENTIRE BOOK.
I received the book as a gift in 1988. I decided to read the book starting at chapter 13. This chapter was the one chapter that stood out to me. The reason that this chapter stood out is it express the importance of the good lord Jesus Christ being head of any and all married couples.

An excellent book overall, but a couple of problems...
This important book has plenty of great information for newlywed couples, and I am grateful that it is available as an alternative to the non-Christian and sometimes amoral resources that seem to dominate this topic. But I cannot give it five stars, because some of the information is not adequate. The Birth Control Pill is promoted, although I understand it is sometimes abortifacient. Also, the information regarding Natural Family Planning (this book uses the outdated term "Rhythym") is about 35 years past its time!! I would strongly recommed any reader to do their own research on the above two topics. I would also suggest that Catholic readers investigate Catholic teaching on the morality of birth control on their own, since this book takes a strong "pro" stance which is very different than the Catholic one. I also personally thought that certain historical comments in the book had a rather definite anti-Catholic tone. I am not accusing the LeHayes of being prejudiced against Catholics, but they do seem to have an unjustified antipathy towards the Catholic Church of history- probably because of a strong Protestant bias. The above points having been made, I would still recommend this book for married couples wanting to improve their physical relationship, and for engaged couples as they prepare for this special aspect of their married lives. --This text refers to the mass market paperback edition of this title

Our Christian Marriage is now hotter than a FIRECRACKER!
This book opened my husband's and my eyes -- and then our hearts! I had always been afraid to ask my husband to do what I wanted in the bedroom, thinking, foolishly, he would come to think of me as one of the prostitutes he regularly ministers to as part of our outreach program. Well, did this book change my mind! I have learned that "crotchless" does NOT equal "unsaved." And our marriage is so strong now, nothing can pull us apart. Thank you, thank you!

A reader from Nashville, TN , 3 January, 1999
A must read for all engaged or married couples.
This book says all the things mom was too embarrassed to pass on to her daughter. Plus all the things dad didn't know to pass on to his son. God made man and woman very different, but he made them fit together in a wonderful way. This book covers the physical aspects of marriage in a wonderful Christian way. --This text refers to the mass market paperback edition of this title

Looking Forward to a Great Marriage
My husband, Joe, who wrote the review above, is the man of my dreams. Who would have thought the Lord would bless me with such a wise, old man - and a virgin as well! Even though there is a gap of 50 years between us his job as Assistant District Manager of Vending Operations for Southwest Toronto keeps him active and gives him ample opportunity to witness for our Lord.

Since Joe has been reading Beverly LaHaye's book he has decided to also sponsor my 6 teenaged sisters, who will live with us in our little trailer on the outskirts of Toronto. Joe is a firm believer in family and asks about my sisters often.

Joe has sent me a list of things to do to improve our marriage and every night after I leave the Nike plant I sit in front of a candle and work on my checklist.

Thank you, Beverly LaHaye
