Quotes edit see section history

• “Every now and then a couple has a great sex life with a poor marriage, but this is the rarity, something you see only every couple of years”

• “If you're married, sex will be one of the most important parts of your life, whether you want it to be that way or not”

• But marriage is about learning to put someone else’s needs above your own, and this goes far beyond the bedroom. It’s about graciously doing the mundane, everyday things as part of being a couple, developing a friendship, and caring for each other.

• When sex dies in a marriage, a man loses something very important to him—the knowledge that he can please his wife physically. And a woman loses the satisfaction that she has a man who is enthralled with her beauty.

• What warms a woman up is when her husband helps around the house, picks up after himself, helps with the children, makes arrangements for dates, and overall cares for her. If a husband consistently and graciously does this without acting like a martyr, he’s going to find, six times out of ten, that his wife is ready and eager to enjoy an active and fulfilling love life. It will be a natural response to a lifestyle of sincere affection.

• A good lover works just as hard outside the bedroom as he does inside it.

• The way you look at sex is the way you look at sex—but that doesn’t make it the right way, or the only way to look at sex.

• Another book every woman needs to read is Intimate Issues by Linda Dillow.)

  Highlighted by 19 Kindle customers

• You need to know that every day a woman internally asks her husband, Do you really love me? Do you really care? How does she measure that love? How does she know she’s truly cared for? It’s usually not in the bedroom. If anything turns off a woman, it’s the feeling that all her husband cares about is sex. If a wife thinks her main role is to be a willing recipient of her husband’s sexual advances, she feels demeaned and disrespected.
