About this audiobook

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?Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, want you to finish well on the last day. They share private and painful issues that damaged their own marriage-including his introduction to pornography in elementary school and her abuse as a teenager at the hands of a boyfriend-and how they overcame them to experience healing and joy with each other again.Together they tackle the tough issues, such as:•Should I confess my pre-marital sexual sin to my spouse? •Is it okay to have a "work husband/wife"? •Can I say no to sex when I really do have a headache? •What does the Bible say about masturbation and oral sex?From fun date night tips to the most tricky "can we do that?" sex questions, Mark and Grace share practical help and hope with people just like them-who entered marriage a complete mess-or who are planning to be married someday and want to avoid some sticky pitfalls.

Great book if you subscribe to the wife being responsible for her husband's sexual sin or anger etc. Read to perpetrate dangerous blame on women, while men enjoy head ship under the guise of "protecting the family". Also great work if you like plagiarism
