Format:Paperback
The Act of Marriage was very beneficial to me before I was married. I had never heard or read anything about sex from a Christian perspective. The LeHayes provided a course of the physical aspects of marriage (sex), while at the same time focusing in upon the more relational and spiritual. The physical aspects included things like the role of male and female hormones in the arousal of sexual feelings. The relational and spiritual focused upon things like pleasing your spouse and finding out what is most pleasing for your partner. I was especially pleased to hear about the physiological components of sex from two Christians, because my experience with Christians and sex has been very Victorian and repressive. The LeHayes are not like that at all.
I was very nervous and scared about the First Night. I found out that my spouse was also very nervous. The LeHayes book helped to lessen and queit our fears. I think the best part of the boo is the description of the Brain and mind as the most important sexual organ. Overall, the LeHayes did a wonderful job.

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 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This book is far too out of date (and too serious) and not really relevant in today's society whether you are a Christian or not. Read more
