Summary

Many married couples believe that they know each other fully when they exchange their wedding vows, only to find out later that they had misconceptions about married life, each other, and their own desires-especially when it comes to intimacy. In SEXpectations: Strategies for Navigating the Misconceptions of Sex in Marriage to Create Long-Lasting Intimacy, Omarr and Leona Carter provide strategies, insights, and biblical scriptures for stimulating open conversations and fostering clear communication. By sharing wisdom and anecdotes gained from their twenty-six-year marriage, Omarr and Leona provide a foundation for fostering intimacy throughout all of life's seasons. Part-autobiography, part-self-help, and part-Bible study, SEXpectations is full of warmth, transparency, humor, and insight. Filled with His and Her perspectives, it reaches out to husbands and wives alike to help them create lasting intimacy that is mentally, physically, and spiritually satisfying.
