Title: Turn Up
the Heat.
Author: Dr. Kevin
Leman.
Genre: Christian,
Nonfiction, Marriage, Self-Help, Psychology, Communication.
Plots: Since the success of his book, Sheet Music, Leman has turned his
amusing sense of humor and down-to-earth advice to another book, this time
about how couples can turn up the heat in their sex life. Whether you’re stuck
in a rut, newlywed or just looking for a refresher, this fun easy to read book
is a wonderful addition to your library. Covering all the milestones in life –
the honeymoon to the rest home – and everything in between, from children to
boring daily life to midlife crisis’s, this book has a little something for
everyone. There are also special chapters for abuse victims and affairs. The
overall theme of the book is communication and loving each other outside the
bedroom. If you have a strong marriage in other areas of life, the bedroom will
heat up accordingly.
Likes/Dislikes: This
book was very fast and easy to read, though it felt more like a refresher to
me. There wasn’t a whole lot of new information, and based on what was written,
my husband and I are doing pretty well. I did enjoy the little blurbs scattered
throughout the book and loved the author’s sense of humor. The one thing I just
really didn’t like was in one of the chapters Leman answers a woman’s concerned
question regarding how to get her husband interested when he isn’t, mainly due
to the fact that they use NFP {Natural Family Planning} and he doesn’t want
anymore children. Leman’s curt answer failed to actually answer the question
and he could’ve given a lot more advice on the subject. My husband and I use
NFP and one of the reasons why it’s so successful for us is because we
communicate frequently. NFP relies very heavily on communication. Aside from
that bit, it was a pretty good book.
Rating: PG-18 and
up, due to content. Recommended only for married couples.
Date Review Written: February
