Product Description

Book Description
This updated and expanded edition expands some of the subjects that were discreetly touched on in the earlier edition, explores how the latest discoveries in the field of medicine and social practice confirm the principles taught in the book.

From the Back Cover
This updated and expanded edition gives a fresh informative edge to an already definitive book. New sections discuss "sex after sixty" and five reasons why God created sex, all supported by the very latest findings in the fields of medicine and sociology. For engaged couples and newlyweds who want to make lovemaking a joy from the start . . . For couples who have been married for years and want to maintain the flame or rekindle the embers . . . for every husband or wife who wants to be a better lover -- here are the insights into each other's bodies, psychosexual makeup, and need for tender, unselfish affection that can help you achieve your goal. With over 2.5 million copies in print, The Act of Marriage has helped thousands of Christian couples maximize their joy in sexual union and saved countless marriages. Pastors, doctors, and psychologists alike have endorsed the frank, practical insights.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you live in the 21st century, look elsewhere, 6 Jan 2007
As a young married christian who has been married around four months I bought this book hoping it would be both encouraging and helpful in a practical as much as an emotional way. At the same time I also bought "A Celebration of Sex" by Douglas Rosenau. The differnce between the two could not be more marked. Whilst the LaHaye's insist on telling the complete history of psychological thinking on the issue of sex in an incredibly boring and frustrating manner and never quite getting to the point, Rosenau is practical and sensitive in his writing, covering everything the 21st century christian marriage might possibly need to know. This book can be judgemental and confusing and contains very little practical advice, unless you're having trouble with your pelvic floor muscles.
Seriously, unless you also want to read results from a scientific survey on sex conducted at some point during the 1980's do yourselves a favour and give this one a miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars LeHaye provides a wonderful Christian perspective on sex, 27 Mar 1998
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A basic book of marriage, 8 Aug 2000
By A Customer
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.
