Who Said Marriage Didn't Come With a Set of Instructions? See contrary to popular belief God ... never intended for us to just barely get along, or simply tolerate each other, and marriage was never supposed to be temporary, He said The Two Will Become One Flesh.

And in this book you will obtain the tools necessary to possess a Godly marriage. So why settle for average when you were destined for greatness.

You might be wondering why write a book about sexual intimacy in marriage and share illustrations for husbands and wives to enjoy. It is a question that I would like to answer up front. God gave the gift of sex for spouses to enjoy for a lifetime. The honeymoon was not meant to be a climax in the experience, but the beginning of an adventure then on to share full of passion, excitement, and joy. Sex is like a roller coaster as it will have ups and downs as the days, years, and decades pass. It is my belief that the passion that started the relationship should be the one that carries it through all the way to the end instead of the marriage bed becoming stale or joyless. This book was written to give a resource for Christians that would spare them the need to go to the world for ideas and possibly be exposed to explicit or vulgar content that would defile. I have chosen to write in such a way that any Christian could find the wordings pleasant and learn from them. What will you find in the pages of this resource? You will find a Bible study for both spouses to do together and illustrations for husbands and wives to try in the marriage bed to spice things up. This is the second installment of a two part series that will have different content. I want you to enjoy your spouse! I want you to make love to your husband or wife! I want you to get out of the rut and try new things. It appreciates God to use the gift to the max He gave. The act of becoming one flesh honors Him. "And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed", (Genesis 2:23-25).

The first major translation of the Christian Scriptures from the original languages to be undertaken since the King James Version (1611), the Revised Standard Version Bible debuted in 1952 to widespread acclaim. It was subsequently adopted by a spectrum of denominations the world over for use as a text in both public worship and private devotional settings. The RSV dramatically shaped the course of English Bible translation work in the latter half of the Twentieth Century. It remains the Bible of choice for many people.

The MacArthur Study Bible is perfect for serious study. No other study Bible does such a thorough job of explaining the historical context, unfolding the meaning of the text, and making it practical for your life.
