For years, Christians have been told that sex is God’s creation, designed by him as a gift to husbands and wives. Yet few couples actually experience sex as a spiritual, God-ordained experience. Rather than admit their l… More >>

Sex IS HOLY. Its for MARRIED persons ONLY. A form of worship to God. He is present when you express your love to your mate. It’s about your oneness with God and your love for God. You are loving God like God loves you unconditionally when you obey Him. Sex between a husband and wife is expressing that love. Outside of marriage sex is a sin that seperates you from God. Sin is DEATH. When you love God, you love what God loves and HATES what God Hates. God Hates SIN of any kind. Fornication and adultery is sex outside of the marriage covenant. Both are sins that says I choose to seperate myself from God and DIE.

I’m a single woman in my early 20′s and not in a relationship. I picked up this book out of a longing to combat the ideals of this sex-saturated culture with the truth of God’s word. Gardner’s committment to the gospel and pursuit of God’s agenda throughout the book was very refreshing; he continues to bring everything back to Christ; Christ is the center of marriage and reason for marriage from the beginning to the end of the book. I also love the importance that he placed on honest communication and prayer.
) – I finished the book hungry for a holy marriage that honors and glorifies God and I found myself longing for someone to have discussions with after every chapter! It opened my eyes to the lies that I believed about sex – and to see all the ways that Satan has distorted and perverted such a good gift from God. I can now rejoice in the fact that sex is not something that is dirty or physiological or meaningless but sex is glorious worship! – a holy celebration between man and wife alone. It makes me feel so honored and beautiful to know that God has kept me pure by his grace and that he is making me and His Church a magnificent Bride. This will definitely be a book that I grab off of my dusty shelf and read together with my fiancee once God is ready. Thank you Dr. Gardner!
When I bought this book, I did not know that it was going to be geared towards couples. And though I found that there were certain portions of the book not suitable for a single woman to be reading (and I had to skim over quite a bit so as not to “awaken any desires before its time”

…wow… a book for those who have everything. For those who think there is nothing new to learn & have had a nice time in marriage & have had a few rocks to climb over, this book is for everyone. Look under every rock, follow the author down a sometimes uncomfortable path and you will have a nicely ironed out relationship. Enjoyable quotes and good flow. Enjoyed the Dick Davidson quotes.

This book gave my husband and me the most incredible new understanding of the gift God has given to us through marital sex. We haven’t even finished the whole book yet, but we’ve already connected with each other in a way that we never have before. I can’t even find words to fully express what we both felt toward each other and God after experiencing sex as a holy, unifying gift. It has been an eye opener to His amazing wonder. I think this should be a must read for premarital counseling.

Sex is a spiritual celebration of oneness. That may seem like a truism for many but Gardner’s exploration of that theme is quite significant. This is not a manual about technique. Rather, it is about the spirituality of the sexual relationship itself. Sex, in this context, is a spiritual discipline by which we explore, practice and experience communion. It is an act of worship in a committed relationship. Men-despite the common mantra-do not need sex (sex is optional; we can live without it!), but couples need a oneness that sexual relations express. Sexuality is more about oneness than orgasm. I found the spiritual emphasis refreshing.
