Great book not JUST for"Good Guys"-a wife's review

As a wife, I cannot tell you how healing and helpful this book was for ME! We've been married for years, and yet, for me to hear a MAN summarize and condemn the unhealthy messages I've heard and deduced from American evangelicalism, was nothing short of validating and empowering. I laughed and cried throughout parts of this book. I highly recommended this book! (Even and especially if you've been married for a while!)

Great Book

I wish I had had this book years ago! I am so glad it’s here now, just in time for my boys.

Must listen for men

Both married and soon to be married men need to hear and then act on the great information given in this book. Christ centered marriages work best for everyone.

Great read for all stages of marriage

I’m almost 10 years in but this book has changed the trajectory of where I will take our sexual experience.
We started our marriage with sex up to 7 times a day! No lie! Now at 3 times a month I see why it had changed. She felt like I couldn’t be satisfied, but now I have the tools for a better approach.

good book, wrong title

this book should bould be called 'The great sex rescue for men' it is all a rehash of 'The great sex rescue' but written for men. If you were raised in the purity culture this book would be great for you. I don't know if there are better books out there but this has more of; these ideas you were taught are bad, and not enough of here is how to be a great husband and lover when you were not taught these bad ideas.

Should change the name to good guys and girls guide to great sex

I’ve listened to several audio books on sex and marriage. This one is the best. I wish resources like this were available when my wife and I were young but instead we learned trial and error, and success.

It was well balanced between a guys and girls point of view which is why I recommend couples listen to it. In fact I recommend that teen boys and girls listen to it. Kids would be so much better informed about the subject after listening.

Great Advice for a Healthy Sex Life

Keith and Sheila present a well-researched and evidence-based framework for a healthy sex life and marriage in this book, directed towards men. They provide a good mix of theory and practical advice, and sound psychological research and data within a Christian worldview. It's so much better than too many "Christian" books on sex and marriage that follow inaccurate or incorrect assumptions or cultural customs, rather than sound data and psychology, and lead to unhelpful and harmful advice. I'm glad there is a healthy perspective in this book, and others from the authors that provide a healthy alternative.

Whether you are married or not, this book is a great resource for learning a healthy attitude towards sex and marriage.

Transformed my marriage

So very thankful for Sheila and her team. A few months ago a friend sent me a podcast where Sheila was speaking on issues surrounding sex and marriage. I sent it to my husband and he called to apologize.
I have read many Christian books, had hours of counseling and have never heard these topics addressed much less articulated in a way that gave me any hope. I can say after reading The Great Sex Rescue and The Good Guy’s Guide (so I could talk through long-standing issues with my husband as he read it) I feel so seen and so validated and they really covered it all. I believe our marriage can finally start the process of healing.
These books came right on time and this message needs to be shouted from the rooftops! How many marriages are suffering because the resources that are supposed to help are making things way worse!
I will recommend to everyone I possibly can as I get the opportunity.
Please keep writing and speaking.
Marriage are in the balance and I feel like mine is likely to survive. I did not feel that way a couple of months ago.
Thanks again for all your hard work and research and for standing up to the opposition.
