Real Marriage

Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife Grace have co-written a novel book about marriage in which they discuss marriage and sex, replete with anecdotes, not meant as voyeuristic but to provide real examples of how once couple worked through marital issues to have a healthier marriage. With a chapter devoted to men written by Mark and another to women written by Grace, the book speaks issues shared by all of us. One important chapter discusses how to work through issues: bitterness, forgiveness, repentance, and fighting for your marriage. Sex is a topic left for its own half of the book, including topics such as the proper place of sex in a marriage, pornography, and a discussion of various types of sexual activity.

I found this to be a very candid book on marriage and sex. I've read a number of these types of books and none are as honest as this. I appreciate the insight the authors provide from their personal lives, as it gives hope to those struggling with their own issues. Yes, this is a good book, one to be read and digested.
