Best-selling author, cultural commentator, and popular theologian Christopher West is one of the world's most recognized teachers of John Paul II's Theology of the Body. He specializes in making this teaching accessible to all Christians, with particular attention to evangelicals. As West explains, from beginning to end the Bible tells a story of marriage. It begins with the marriage of man and woman in an earthly paradise and ends with the marriage of Christ and the church in an eternal paradise.

Great theology that should be more widely taught in churches
Revisado: 03-09-25
This is a great profound book that should be more widely taught in churches today so that people know the glory of how their bodies reflect God’s covenant love for humanity, and sexuality as a sign for Jesus’ love for his bride, the Church. However, 2 flaws to note: 1. Chapter 3’s starting point is misrecorded and 2. For Chapter 8, there should be more coverage of the feminist view of contraception: women feel oppressed about being the sex to bear children while the men seem free to cheat on their wives whenever they want. This is a massive distortion of God’s sign of sex, of course, but by introducing contraception, women feel that they are now ‘free’ to enjoy sex as much as men through fornication, and therefore ‘equalize’ their enjoyment of sex as much as men do, because women’s sexual pleasure has also been ignored by the Church. Of course, Satan’s hand is in this but women don’t see it as such if they feel Christianity is oppressive because they misinterpret Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 7, which is covered beautifully in this book.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 65
Men today are starved for sexual formation. They've been failed by parents, churches, and culture alike, leading to widespread shame, confusion, and brokenness in the area of sexuality. In The Sex Talk You Never Got, therapist Sam Jolman helps men reconnect their God-given sexuality with innocence, awe, and joy, and shows listeners how to celebrate--instead of struggle against--the gift of sexual desire.

This book could be better organised
Revisado: 02-24-25
This book started off well in saying men should develop a better appreciation of beauty and be in awe and use sensuality to experience the world and appreciate women in that way, but then it dwells too much on sexual abuse and trauma. Chapter 8, The Aroused Life, should be covered earlier before delving into sexual abuse, shame, contempt, kindness and trauma, because many men do not have serious sexual dysfunction that warrants going to a therapist. If you are a teenager, you just want a guidebook for how to handle your puberty and hormones responsibly, how to approach and interact with girls, how to date and form meaningful relationships with women, how to take care of your partner’s and your own feelings when having sex so that you both feel fulfilled and it is not felt as abuse or assault etc. We all know that sex education provided in schools or by parents is inadequate, so I was hoping for better guidance for teenagers.
Also, for Chapter 8, I think it is OK for a couple to agree to offer mutual stress relief to each other through sex provided that both partners agree that is the purpose of the encounter. Mutual touching of each other’s genitals can offer stress relief after long days of work. For example, a man can offer to give the woman a massage in exchange for a woman rubbing the man’s genitals etc. Sex cannot be a perfect intimate experience every time but having good communication about what the purpose of sexual encounter is for can help the partner know how he or she is needed.
I also doubt coregulation is that simple to solve stress. I mean, what if you are an introvert and your wife is an extrovert?
This book focus too much on sexual trauma and shame and not enough on how to have a good sex life. Chapter 8 should expand into more chapters and more examples.

Many Christian books talk about sexual issues within broader works on marriage, but few resources comprehensively and biblically guide couples specifically on sexual intimacy. God, Sex, and Your Marriage challenges the common assumptions couples have about sexuality and presents the richer biblical narrative of sex as a metaphor of God’s covenant love. Dr. Juli Slattery applies that biblical framework to the practical challenges in sexual intimacy. Godly sexuality extends far beyond sexual purity and calls us to sexual integrity.

Great perspective on God’s uplifting view of sexuality
Revisado: 02-22-25
Dr. Slattery’s view of God’s view of sexuality as a metaphor for His covenant love for His church that all husbands should demonstrate to their wives and vice versa is a great picture to work towards. It would be great to hear more material about how revealing our faults ad sinstoeach other would increase intimacy in marriage when we fear our partner will reject us.
