Then comes marriage and all the marriage advice you could ever want in the format of gifts of books. :)

But it wasn't all that bad. I just got a lot of books that said similar things.

Another premarital gift... not bad. But I liked the Gottmans and Wendy Watson better.

The author is a marriage therapist. After one particularly frustrating session, he wondered what other therapists would do. He asked each of them to write a chapter with their best advice. Thus, each chapter can be read independently, and is one perspective – giving the best advice of that author. Perhaps that is what made it such an interesting read.

I managed to quite annoy my wife by reading from one of the chapters, but then because of other chapters that I read from to her, she became interested in reading it herself.

Most of the chapters were wonderfully interesting, giving me a deeper understanding of the importance and sacredness of the marriage relationship. The commonalities were interesting, as were the variations of viewpoint, all in one succinct book.

Plain talking about sexual intimacy from an LDS perspective. I think it would have been really helpful early on in my marriage. Some interesting things to think about from a parental perspective in terms of teaching about sexual intimacy.
