Pleasantly surprised by this book. I was expecting some hokey 1950s portrayal of marriage, a complete absence of women’s sexuality, and an emphasis of how the man has a “need” that the wife doesn’t and won’t understand.
This was not that. 🙌🏽
While the writing was certainly dry throughout and repetitive now and then, it was actually a very practical guide to marriage. Sexuality was not even the emphasis! Building a relationship that is safe, loving, fun, friendly, and Christ-centered was the theme and it was actually articulated quite well. I underlined more than I thought I would, and I am sure I will even refer to it again more than once for practical ideas on how to foster every type of love in my marriage.
Minus a star because it was definitely dry, and because I felt the inclusion of the entire book of Song of Solomon and the dramatic-and-lengthy retelling of Hosea were unnecessary.
