Summary
The myths that permeate the sexual relationship in most marriages today can cause tremendous frustrations. The purpose of this book is to help a husband and a wife unravel these sexual myths together. This will work best if the husband and wife read aloud one chapter at a sitting and then take time for discussion. The sexual relationship is not a "get" experience; it's a "share" experience. However, before this sexual experience can be shared, the myths that interfere with it must be dealt with. The quest for each couple is to get past having sex and move on to making love. This book was written as a road map for that journey. - Introduction.
