About this listen
Every sexual mindset, habit, or experience pursued by false beliefs is a "counterfeit climax" in the making, and they could be sabotaging the level of intimacy you are experiencing with your spouse right now. Deep-rooted insecurity from harsh teachings you may have learned about sex or unseen habits like pornography are leading factors to sexual dissatisfaction and false sexual expectations. It's one thing to discover these hurts, but it's an entirely different undertaking to talk about it with your spouse in a healthy way.
With Dave and Ashley's trusted advice and compassion, including their own transparent stories, The Counterfeit Climax will help guide you through talking about your sexual burdens so that you can find freedom and pleasure within your marriage. It's time to confront all the lies the world has fed us about sex, romance, and relationships and pursue God's design for the most fulfilling marriage and sex life.

Imagine a marriage with complete intimacy, vulnerability, transparency, and trust. Imagine a marriage rooted in faith, friendship, and mutual fulfillment. Imagine a marriage with amazing sex, but where great sex is only the icing on the cake. This might all sound too good to be true, but it's actually what God designed marriage to be, and he doesn't want you settling for anything less.

Why do moms find themselves settling for a depleted and frustrated existence when motherhood is truly one of the greatest gifts from God? Being a mom is one of the most important-yet-difficult roles a woman will ever fill. Deep in their hearts, many women believe they are failing their families, are emotionally anemic, and are utterly helpless to maintain their peace while raising kids. As a result, hearts and homes are constantly defeated by the "peace pirates" that are allowed to take away the security God paid for His children to have.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 52
In our fast-paced, success-obsessed culture, we're constantly tempted to chase after things that don't matter. We've been conditioned to value possessions over people, status over relationships, and ourselves over God. But the reality is this: God created love to be the centerpiece of our lives. In The Seven Laws of Love, Dave Willis makes the case for a love revival and proves that in returning to a life of love, we have no greater model than the one who is love himself.

Story5 out of 5 stars 66
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.

Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, talk about sex and marriage in down-to-earth terms, hitting issues other Christian books won't. While a wonderful wedding day is important, it's the last day of marriage that really counts. Will the last day of your marriage come prematurely through divorce? Will it be filled with regrets as you sit at the funeral of your spouse? Or, by God's grace, will the last day be a time to rejoice in the life you lived together?

The love that the world tells us to pursue is all about self, about following your heart’s desires. But what is the Christian worldview on love? When we follow Jesus, we realize that he invites us to reorient the focus of our lives, so instead of chasing love primarily for our own happiness, we are first and foremost to give love - to God and to others.

Absolutely amazing book!!!
My husband and I both read this book or should I say listened to the 2 of you read it to us and we really thought it was great information. Not to mention hearing the two of you read is definitely an added bonus. We both know that this will help us in our marriage for years to come and for those we hope to coach one day. Amy and Dave have a passion for the Lord and it shows through their own relationship and the marriage ministry. We recommend this book to everyone.

I have listened to this audiobook three times and everytime I hear a new message that spoke to my heart and soul. Thank you for your work. Your books have turned two lost souls and a lost marriage, into an open , transparent marriage under Christ. We were non believers before but your books open our hearts to the idea. God literally pruned us individually and our marriage. Thank you for giving us the navigation to find our marriage again. We are truly grateful.
