Tackett's Top Five Marriage Books

In a recent post for ChristianityToday.com—the Web site for Christianity Today magazine—Charles W. Tackett, CEO of PursuingHeart.com, listed his top five marriage books. Included as the fourth book on his list is Sexual Intimacy in Marriage, published by Kregel Publications.

The third edition of the book discusses the basics, like the definition of marriage, and the not-so-basic topics, such as achieving sexual pleasure and biblically "OK" sexual activity. This highly acclaimed, medically and biblically accurate book covers all the bases about sex in marriage with a sensitivity and frankness that every couple will appreciate.
