About this book

Reclaim the Bible-based concept of marriage as a satisfying one-flesh relationship. In this definitive guide to marital intimacy for Christian couples over 50, learn how to deepen sexual pleasure and enjoy God's gift of sexual intimacy with your spouse.

It can be difficult to find biblically based sexual advice. A licensed psychologist and family therapist, Dr. Douglas Rosenau answers specific and often unasked questions about sexual topics, presenting married couples with detailed techniques and skills to deepen their sexual pleasure and improve their marriages.

In this easy-to-read guide for older couples, Dr. Rosenau covers topics including:

  • The normal effects of aging on sexuality
  • Common medical problems and solutions
  • Postmenopausal estrogen replacement
  • Overcoming roadblocks to intimacy
  • Reviving and sustaining sexual desire
  • Physical and emotional sexual fitness

Grounded in Scripture and written by a pioneer of Christian sex therapy, A Celebration of Sex is comprehensive, direct, and honest, treating sex with the respect it deserves and a Christ-like foundation. An excellent tool for premarital education and counseling, it's a must-read for Christian spouses.
