1: So CHRIST will be offended if I don't perform fellatio??!!
WOW.
I don't consider myself a feminist. Let's just start with that. I turned to this book because of the reviews and hearing of the "Every Man" series. I have have a husband struggling with a pornography addiction. After reading most of the book, I am disgusted beyond belief.
These are ACTUAL EXCERPTS from the book, then decide for yourself if YOU would feel better after reading this:(this is just a few pages...it is like this EVERY PAGE)
"When we wives disobey God and do not make ourselves sexually available to our husbands, we block off their main, natural route for expressing intimacy." (pg.72)
..."but before you cavalierly cut him off, consider exactly what you are doing." (pg.72)
"Life will always feel pretty meaningless to a husband without regualar sexual intimacy...that is how men are made.." pg.73
and the next page (pg 74).."Where do they go to build an alternative intimacy if you pull away from them? All their altrnatives are sinful:Internet porn, masturbation, sexual involvement with coworkers. When a man chooses to marry, he knows he is LIMITING his sexual options to her alone." (pg 75).
EACH PAGE IS FILLED WITH ThIS MYSOGINISTIC B.S.
I swear, I read this with an open mind, and as a dedicated Christian woman. But Fred writes most of this book, with his patheticly submissive (and permissive) wife walking literally 10 steps behind with a apologetic attitude. Fred loves to point out the debates that he has "won" with his wife on this subject and proceeds to blame her for all of HIS shortcomings and wandering eye.
Btw if you read this and believe that I am just some "chick with a grudge" let me inform you that I myself have my own credentials: a Ph.D in Psychology and am a Pro-Life Activist.
Save your money AND YOUR SANITY. Go to a qualified marraige counselor or family therapist. The LAST THING YOU NEED IS THIS BOOK!!!!

2: EXCELLENT BOOK
Good book to learn about this destructive pattern of living & how there's hope for the spouses.

3: This was an excellent book.
This was an excellent book. It was spooky how dead on it was. I highly recommend it to any woman who is going through this type of situation. I also recommend that their spouse read it as well. It gave my husband a better appreciation for what his actions have done to me.

4: A very helpful guide.
If you are a woman who's been hurt by your husband's sexual sin- this is the guide for you. I have been enlightened to many different things that I never thought of before. It is a wonderful, biblically based, book that will lead you to healing within yourself and your marriage. A must read! Be sure to order "Every Man's Battle" for your husband, and both study guides, as well. This combonation will set you on the path of healing and becoming the souple God intended you to become!

5: a little hokey, but good principles
The book offers lots of affirmation that your feelings are normal, and some great principles on how to proceed in your marriage from where you are now. However, it was pretty hokey and unrealistic in many places. Still, worth the time to read this one.
