Authors Linda Dillow and Lorraine Pintus created more than conversations, woman to woman, in their book Intimate Issues: 21 Questions Christian Women Ask About Sex. This is not a clinical book and the authors say, “We are not sex therapists, psychologists, or sociologists.”
When you read the book you have a sense Dillow and Pintus are women like you and me, married to men like our husbands. Men desire an intimate relationship with their wives. The authors give clear direction and examples of how to develop a more desirable togetherness in a marriage setting. They also address issues of how to find forgiveness when a spouse is unfaithful, whether with another person or pornography; how to accept yourself when your body is aging and still allow your mate the pleasure of your body, lumpy or not; how to renew the love you felt for your spouse on your wedding day, to build a bridge into his world when everyday life demands all of your energy.
Intimate Issues is a book backed up with Scripture and many other authors and clinical studies. A great book for the pastor’s library, or to give as a tenth anniversary gift—something to rebuild the fire when the romance has cooled.
A woman asked, “If ‘this’ (her sexual temptation) is such a common problem, why isn’t anyone talking about it?” Dillow and Pintus answered, “People do talk about it—after the fact.”
The good news is, Intimate Issues is a book with answers—a much needed book for today’s women.

I taught a Bible study on this book 6-7 years ago. LOVE it!! Must read, and a fun topic to do in a group. Our last assignment was to do the "date" at the end with the special recipe.
Then, because sometimes when Christians talk about sensitive subjects other Christians come down on them, we all wrote a thank you note to the ladies. :-)
