Sexuality is a topic that many people steer away from discussing. They think it’s taboo or maybe even a touchy subject in their relationship. But, sexual intimacy is a prominent factor in a happy, healthy marriage. We’re sexual beings and to be honest, we have sexual needs to fulfill.

Thanks to Dr. Kevin Leman’s Sheet Music, sex doesn’t have to be an awkward topic. As is true of most of Leman’s writing, he’s warm and humorous – not making a joke of sex, but rather setting the readers at ease. Yes, you may blush, but yes, you’ll also chuckle. Rather than a cold, science textbook on sex, Leman gets frank with his audience. It’s as if he’s talking with a friend as he discusses things like “Mr. Happy” and “The Big O.”

Sheet Musicis a great read for engaged couples who can set their upcoming union up for success by having healthy understandings of what sex is and what sex isn’t and about what intimacy looks like from the man’s perspective and from the woman’s. Get ready for answers to all of your questions, including masterbation and oral sex. Yep, told you that you may blush. This read is also perfect for married couples who have been on different pages (shoot, maybe even different planets) about sexual intimacy. 

Maybe you’ve been married for ages. Sheet Musica great step toward digging yourself out of the sexual pit you and your spouse may be in. Leman’s chapter on “Thirty-One Flavors” will give you and your mate some creative, new ideas to enhance the action in your bedroom. He even tackles the topics of dry spells after childbirth and physical changes associated with age like erectile dysfunction and menopause.

For the Christian, sex was a grand part of God’s design. Intended not just for procreating, God envisioned sex as a means of unifying spouses physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. The two literally become one in all of those ways. It’s a wonderful gift He has given us and we can honor Him by enjoying it with our mate. But marital intimacy for many has faced such disservices as pre-marital sex, affairs, abuse, pornography, and also the taboo stigma some religious backgrounds place on sex. Leman’s book opens the way for these conversations and directs readers toward a path of healing and toward a better sexual intimacy with our mates.

He leaves no stone unturned and never attacks either gender for sexual obstacles, but instead continually advocates for the pleasure, fulfillment, and happiness of the couples as a whole. I would personally recommend reading this as a couple or taking turns reading this book. It’s sure to give you both a better understanding and appreciation for one another. It may even help you to communicate needs, desires, and preferences to your mate that you’ve been too shy or unable to share in the past.

It’s okay to blush, okay to chuckle, and okay to read up on creating beautiful “sheet” music because it’s more than okay to better your marriage through physical intimacy. Enjoy the book as well and the music it should make in your relationship!
