Rating:  Summary: Sex Begins in the Ktchen Review: As a husband and pastor who works with many marriages, healthy and otherwise, I am most impressed with this book. The title doesn't really do it justice as it addresses a diverse range of subjects related to intimacy in marriage. The book is refreshingly honest and practical - addressing the issue of sex and intimacy with forthrightness, maturity and humor. Though, I know from experience that the greatest audience for books on relationships are women, I can guarantee that men will find this book extremely interesting, useful and fun to read! Way to go Dr. Leman!

Rating:  Summary: A very helpful tool for married couples Review: Dr. Lehman tells it likes is and gets right to the point. This book really helped me to understand my self, my husband, and our relationship. We have really improved the communication in our marriage.
Rating:  Summary: Highly Recommended for ALL Couples! Review: Dr. Leman knows his stuff! He has the gift of being able to share his insights, wisdom and practical advice (guidelines, how to, and exercises -- not just talk) in an easily understandable, entertaining package. He explains both men's and women's perspectives to help us understand each other. He not only tells us the truth, he tells us how to cope and improve our lives. I promise you will see yourself and many others you know in these pages.We can all use more wisdom to improve our marriages, and nothing is more important to our happiness. Many/most of us lacked good role models modeling healthy marriages while we were growing up. Many of the lessons we learned have not served us well. Even the lucky few with good role models will face unique challenges with their own spouses. So we can all benefit from learning better relationship skills. Dr. Leman helps us to see that we have everything to gain by making our marriage our top priority in life. (Yes, even ahead of the children, who are #2. We've probably all seen parents who are blowing this concept.) IMO the section on communication is key. It's no news that men and women often don't communicate in the same way. Poor communication leads to misunderstandings, frustration and anger. Burying those feelings eventually backfires; they are always expressed in some form. The resulting emotional distance has destroyed many marriages. Dr. Leman gives practical guidelines on how to overcome our differences and strengthen the emotional bonds and intimacy that give us our deepest satisfaction in life. This book is a fantastic bargain with life-enhancing potential. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Dr. Leman!

Rating:  Summary: I wish there were more books like that Review: I was very impressed with Mr. Leman's respect to the woman, her needs, and her personality. This is one of a very few Christian books I've read that doesn't have the "housekeeping's-your-job-so-accept-it-if-you're-a-good-Christian" attitude.
Rating:  Summary: Way Over- rated! Review: If I could I would give this book no stars. I did not find anything in this book at all helpful. I bought this when I first got married in hopes that would give me some sort of insight into marriage and my husband. Now 4 years down the line, I learned this book is nothing but rubbish. Foremost I did not care for the author Kevin Leman. He seems like just your typical egotistical male writing a book with the thoughts that all women are fragile little butterflies in a cocoon and all men are barbaric sex maniacs. I am not in anyway a feminist, but unfortunately in alot of marriages the stereotypical "You Jane, Me Tarzan" does not fit. In my case, this was so, which is why this book was of little use to me. I will give it a little credit. In a way, it made me realise how lucky I was that my husband came no where near the way this guy was describing men! Maybe it is a good book for those in "typical" relationships. But, not a good book if you or your significant other falls out of the lines of the "typical" male and female behavior.
Rating:  Summary: wowowowow Review: Kevin Leman has done it again - written a great book with excellent examples and practical applications. We have really enjoyed this book. It has helped us understand each other and open up our communication.
Rating:  Summary: Cleverly written common sense tips for a fabulous marriage! Review: Leman is a comic with a vital message for healthy marriages. His common sense tips for improving your marriage and your sex life are actually things that can be easily incorporated into your life. His writing style is clever, not churchy. Although, you know the message he delivers has a Christian foundation. This book was a blessing in my marriage.
