It's automatic when you feel it

[Bagheera]

Hello Cinco,

I agree that you probably won't be able to get her to read Passionate Marriage: it's a bit of a heavy read that requires some perseverance to get through, based upon what others have said.

You've seen me recommend this book before, but I think you might have good luck getting her to read:

The 5 Sex Needs of Men & Women, by Gary Rosberg, Barbara Rosberg, and Ginger Kolbaba.

The book is written specifically for Christian couples, but does the best job of explaining intimacy differences between the sexes and offering potential solutions in the area of Michele's Intimacy Dilemma of any book I've yet come across. If Chapter 1 of The Sex-Starved Marriage did not cause her to "get it," perhaps this one will. The book is relatively short, and she need only read the fist few chapters to hit all "5 needs" for men and women. It should also appeal to her Conservative Christian mindset, and will hopefully get the point across that Christian couples can have great sex too! [who'd of thunk it....?]
