It’s an unfortunate reality that many men grow up in churches
that suppress their God-given sexual urges. As a result, many
Christian men, single and married, are frustrated with their love
lives and their sex lives. The authors of this book claim that
Christian men should be the greatest lovers in the world and then
work to show men how to do it. They help men:
-learn what the Bible says about a healthy sex life -discover how
to relate to women as men instead of as boys
-address psychological and spiritual issues that interfere with
healthy sexuality
-learn specific techniques that create a strong relationship, great
foreplay, and passionate sex
Solidly based in Scripture and informed by the experiences of the
authors, all respected sex therapists, What Wives Wish Their
Husbands Knew about Sex dispels the myths that keep good Christian
men from experiencing sex as God meant it to be. Perfect for any
man, it is also a great book for counselors and pastors who work
with men.

BACK COVER
A candid guide to men’s sexuality
In the beginning God created man and woman--and sex. But men and
women don’t always see sex in the same way. This straight-talking
guide helps men understand the difference--and helps women
appreciate it too. Here are the facts of sexuality as you never
heard them growing up--explicit, yet honest and accurate--minus the
winks, nudges, and snickers.
In great depth and with much candor, the authors explore the
biblical, psychological, emotional, and physical aspects of making
love.
• Gain new insights into your own sexual makeup and the desires of
your wife
• Discover the most important thing to a woman
• Learn how to become a better lover
• See why knowing Christ can free a man to experience amazing love
and incredible sex with his wife
Whether you’re married or planning to be someday, this is a
must-read.
