Books I am Reading

Before we do another Mad Libs Friday, I thought I would share with y'all about some books I am reading (one I just finished and one I am about to start). Both of these books are by the same author, Dr. Kevin Leman. He is a Christian psychologist that writes on a number of topics. These two books, however, are on sex and marriage. If you aren't married, I suggest you wait until you are to read his books, but if you are married I HIGHLY recommend him and his books as references.


The book I just finished reading (actually for the 2nd time) is Sheet Music. I do really recommend this book, but must warn you it is very "to the point" and very challenging. There is a lot of practical knowledge in this one - and a lot of things that make you think ... and act! :)

The next book that I am going to be starting is Under the Sheets. I have not read this one yet, but I am confident that it will be just as great as Sheet Music. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done.

I'm thinking that I will follow both of these up with another of his books - The Birth Order Book. This topic really intrigues me. Dr. Leman talks about Birth Order in Sheet Music and it really made me think. It is very interesting to look at how the order in which you were born into your family really does shape you into the person that you become. I'll get back to you on this one later...
 
If there is one thing in my life that I am passionate about (besides my relationship with Christ) it is my marriage! I really feel like that we have got to do all that we can to guard and protect our marriages (I don't mean that in a crazy Kasey from the Bachelor kind of way - like for real!) I challenge you to not only read these books, but to also encourage your spouse to read them too...and for you both to talk about them. I know, I know...men don't ever want to talk about ANYTHING personal - except SEX!! It gets the every time!! :)

I sure hope that these books encourage you...and your marriage. If you read them, I'd love to know what you think! Have fun!! :)

    1. Oh good!! I really hope that you like it as much as I do. It really has changed my views on a lot of things and made me really reconsider how I am in our marriage. Let me know what you think.
