'The Act of Marriage After 40' is a must read for couples. It is a frank, honest approach to sex and the problems that can occur with the changes his/her body goes through. It is also a lesson of loving your partner, whether or not sex is a part of your relationship.
Some examples of things shared:
Before he turned fifty, hubby learned there are better ways to set the mood for intimacy than begging, pouting, or negotiating. (p. 80)
You're not too proud to admit being exhausted three-quarters of the way through. (p. 80)
It even covers 'in sickness and in health'. 'Accepting you spouses disability in the sexual arena will take time. You may have feelings of resentment, flashes of anger, waves of grief, and bouts of depression. Your disabled spouse is experiencing all these emotions times ten.' (p. 149)
Praise for the writer daring to address this problem and offering solutions that don't include divorcing your mate and finding someone else. Not to mention giving an example of a couple who were married over thirty years, never had sex, but had a close loving relationship.
Issues such as ED and oral sex are discussed openly and frankly as are other topics too numerous to cover in this blog.
Loving your partner physically is an important part of the marriage relationship and knowing how to do so, no matter the circumstances, makes this book a winner.
