Sheet Music

Jun 19–20, 2008 - comments: 8

We believe today’s broadcast will be of utmost interest to our listeners. Our guest is well-know psychologist and author Dr. Kevin Leman. We’ve asked him to join us today to discuss his latest book, Sheet Music. It isn’t about the music industry, but rather addresses one of the most talked about, yet often misunderstood topics: Marital intimacy. I think our listeners will be surprised with Dr. Leman’s blunt and straightforward approach to this subject matter.

“We joke about sex, degrading it through filthy stories, movies, and magazines, but we never talk about marital sex in the way the Creator designed it. Martial sex – the most important and only appropriate kind, in my view-gets ignored, and couples pay a fearful price when this sad reality happens. But when you give people permission to talk about sex in non-threatening environment, you can’t shut them up. Once they get going, they want to talk about sex because they know that sex is a powerful force in our married lives.” (p.9, Sheet Music)

God is the giver of all good gifts. Sex is a gift from God and a commandment from God. As Dr. Leman so aptly told us earlier, one of the most loving and holy things you can do in marriage is to provide a sexually fulfilling pursuit of your husband or wife. Remember to share that thought with your mate this evening.

I listen to Dr. Land on the way home from work every evening. Kevin Leman’s programs on intimacy in marriage are just what I need to hear at just the right time. I look forward to getting his book, “Sheet Music” and taking his advice to heart. The information he shares makes perfect sense and I intend to take it to heart and put it into practice. I’m confident it’s going to make a huge difference in my marriage.

What about the ‘other’ marriages--the marriages that it is the MAN who isn’t interested in sex?
What does the Christian WOMAN do when she IS interested in having a sexual relationship with her husband and HE does not and then eventually can not?
What about me?  What am I to do?  Where is the support?  Where are the books and talk shows?

Contrary to this author and several others like him with such irritating and incorrect authority state the myth that all/most women don’t like sex, tolerate sex, have to be bribed or bought, and that we have ‘slow’ sexual reactions----bunk, pooy, they have been around the wrong group of women!!
signed---married--still faithful even after 20 years of celibate marriage -not a prostitute, but still interested!

I’m not married yet, but I hope to be someday.  I heard the interview and decided to pick up a copy of the book as much for preperation of things to come as anything.  I actually will be getting two copies - one for myself and one for the man I hope to marry.
