When it comes to sex, men and women have different needs and different ways of communicating those needs. Only by fully understanding and accepting these differences can we achieve true, long-lasting intimacy--and great sex.

how men and women can be both satisfied sexually and more aware of their partner's needs and desireshow to rekindle passion and maintain it in a monogamous relationshiphow to communicate sexual needs effectively--and romanticallyhow to apply advanced relationship skills that address the contemporary needs of individuals and couplesSex is a subject that is not often talked about among couples. Unfortunately, it is also an area that accounts for a large chunk of divorces. Women expect men to be mind-readers, intuitively knowing just what to do to bring them pleasure.

I was also chagrined to see my own misinterpretations...

This was an awesome book. Some nights my husband and I would read various chapters together and later find that we were really practicing many of the things mentioned in the book. I can truly say that this book is a must read for couples who have gotten in a RUTT!!!
