What leading experts say about this book:

“This is the best book about sex and marriage I have ever read, and I have a strong hunch it is the best book ever written. It tells a married couple everything they want in a style that is as delightful as it is tasteful.” – Dr. Lewis B. Smedes, author,

Forgive and Forget and A Pretty Good Person

“My wife and I started to skim this book but found ourselves reading every page. It is enjoyable, readable, practical, frank, and intimate, yet not shocking. The Penners do not moralize or preach. They present enough technical detail without

becoming ‘manualish,’ and gently lead the reader into new sexual freedom within marriage.” – Russell Chandler, columnist, The Los Angeles Times

Clifford L. Penner is a clinical psychologist with Associated Psychological Services in Pasadena, California. Joyce J. Penner is a registered nurse who holds an M.N. in nursing from UCLA.
