Rating: Summary: A GREAT !!! LDS Book on Marital Intimacy Review: Finally!!!! an LDS book on marital intimacy that is actually very clear on such a sacred and crucially important part of marriage and family. The author has done a tremendous service for all who will have the privilage to learn and benefit from her work. I look forward to applying the information in my own marriage, and teaching our children. I have read several LDS Books on the same topic, and this by far is the best.
Rating: Summary: I have read only 1/3 of the book , can't put it down!! Review: I have only read 1/3 of the book. WOW!! How enlightening. This is a MUST read for all married couples, in particular LDS (Latter-day Saints) couples. I had trouble putting this book down, and I HATE reading! This book gives lots of great scriptural references and helps in the breakup of false notions on sexuality as it relates to people of Christian faiths, however if you are not LDS you may want your ask a friend for their scriptures, although this not necessary. My wife and will be giving this book to all our newly marred friends and family. We highly recommend this book!!
Rating: Summary: We've waited 46 years for this book of marital revelations! Review: I want to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Laura Brotherson for her wonderful book, "And They Were Not Ashamed." Many parts of it could have been taken from my own life! My husband and I have waited 46 years for this book! (We call it the "Book of Revelations!") Laura's words are full of light and truth and are written from a kind and loving heart. I am so grateful she was brave enough to write this book and spiritually in tune enough to write it with the help of God. I am so grateful to live in this day and age when it is possible for such a book to be written (revealed). My husband and I have struggled with all of the feelings and emptiness that were associated with our failure to find the emotional, spiritual and physical intimacy in our marriage that she describes in her book. This "empty feeling" led to our divorce after we had 3 beautiful children and had been married for 13 years. We remarried after 8 months, and have remained married. We've always struggled with hurt and emptiness never finding a connection with those things we wanted and needed most. I know I was led to find the answers to my prayers. I have found this book and now my husband and I are finding each other--all I really ever wanted and longed for. I am recommending this book to everyone. I'm making sure all of our married daughters and daughter-in-laws will have this book as well. Thank you. Thank you Laura for being an answer to my prayers.
Rating: Summary: Very well done Review: I've had the opportunity to read and re-read this book. It has provided many opportunities for my wife and I to discuss different aspects of our relationship. It is well written and very insightful. The back cover says it's written "especially for women". I would say it's also written "especially for men" because it gave me insight into my wife's perspective and feelings. Very well done.
Rating: Summary: Very informative Review: Kids these days need parents to know about intimacy and be willing to share it with them. Laura has provided much detail about how to share and why. Wonderful book that will affect many generations.
Rating: Summary: Very, very Helpful !!! Review: My wife and I have been reading this book out loud together most nights before we retire to bed. Although neither my wife nor I have the 'good-girl syndrome' as described in this book, the writing is done in such a way that it has helped us cross the bridge where we are able to talk with each other about our needs and then follow through. I think we both are reaching a deeper level of emotional and physical intimacy. We've tried other books, but none have helped the way this book has. I believe this book is a Godsend and has been written with His influence.
Rating: Summary: Complete coverage of the topic of intimacy within marriage Review: My wife, an LCSW who has practiced individual and family counseling, and has read many different books addressing this subject said 'And They Were Not Ashamed' was the most complete of any she has read and she felt the part about discussing sex with our children will especially help us in our parenting. I commend the author for having the courage to discuss the topic so openly and frankly. I believe there is an urgent need for it; I also believe the author was inspired to write this book and hopefully others will be enriched the way my wife's and my intimate relationship has been.
Rating: Summary: A Must Book For All Married Couples!! Review: Thank you Laura for having the courage to be so open with the information in this book. It truly is an inspiration and a book well needed for those who are seeking to become more one in their marriage. I would highly recommend this to book to those who have been married for years as well as those preparing to be married. It is a book long over due and so well written with the sensitivity needed and yet with the openness required to fully understand the physical intimacy in a marriage. I also appreciate the chapters on how to teach our children about this sacred act and the homework sections after each chapter. This is a great education book for both spouses in communicating their feelings about this very personal, yet fulfilling part of marriage. I also appreciate the other chapters on the different forms of intimacy besides the physical that I feel are just as important to making a couple one.
