Summary: Coaching Couples into Passionate Intimacy
Review: Chris and Rachel McCluskey coach couples into deepening their love and sexual enjoyment of each other---in very insightful and refreshing ways. I think it is helpful for everyone from newlyweds to those married for a long time who want great information with a desire to build a more passionate love life than they often have had modeled for them. Their Lovemaking Cycle is an especially helpful model for practically falling deeper in love and enhancing lovemaking. Buy this book and you are in for some fun, informative and exciting reading.

Summary: Awakening the greatest dimension to marriage
Review: I have always known Marriage was sacred, and that sex was to be saved for marriage, but I had never made the connection that sex itself is sacred. Sex is clearly a physical pleasure, so I have always thought of it on a physical plane. This book awakens the mind to the reality that there is a spiritual dimension to sexual intimacy that has long been overlooked in our age. That spiritual dimension actually heightens the connection and intimacy that man and wife share when they engage freely in the physical pleasure that is ours, by right, as image bearers of God.

Summary: Great book on the heart of sex
Review: This isn't a manual, but a book on the heart of sex. It includes a neat way of looking at the sex act (Lovemaking Cycle) that is useful in helping spouses talk to each other about what does and doesn't work during lovemaking. The large question/answer section also gives interesting insight and help for common issues. Add this to a good manual (like Celebration of Sex) and you have a great reference library for any couple.
