Recently GrowthTrac posted an excerpt from Just Married by Margaret Feinberg. I haven’t read the book but I was captivated by the 6 Marriage Myths.
“While sex can be one of the best parts of being married, it can also be one of the most challenging. Learning to understand, respond, and please your partner takes time. If you were sexually active before you were married, you may find yourself sorting through some unwanted baggage. If you waited to have sex until you were married, you may be surprised at how much practice it takes to
have a consistently enjoyable experience.”
- Margaret Feinberg
Of course, practice can be a very nice thing.
For those who are looking – either to help you deal with “baggage” or for whatever reason – for books about sex, let me encourage you to be careful. Secular books on sex may not reflect Christian values (I would say they will not reflect… but there might be a few out there). And books written by pastors and Christian counselors may not (unfortunately) reflect good science or accurate biology. I don’t know what it is about otherwise intelligent people, but so many Christian books on sex appear to be written based on the writer’s experience or what he or she believes should be true: not necessarily on fact.
I would recommend pretty much anything by the Penner’s. Clifford and Joyce Penner, clinical therapist and nurse, are a husband and wife team who write well, accurately, and from a Christian perspective.
