Clifford, a licensed clinical psychologist, and Joyce, a registered nurse and clinical nurse specialist, have been married for forty years--and they know firsthand that there are countless barriers that can get in the way of experiencing love and commitment, from anger or a lack of respect to external tension.

But these obstacles don't have to last forever. In The Gift of Sex, the Penners give you the tools you need to move past those barriers and embrace marriage as God intended it.

This revised and updated version of The Gift of Sex features a new introduction, new illustrations, a section on addictions and the Internet, and a timely discussion on sexually transmitted diseases and their consequences. It also asks and answers key questions about biblical marriage, including:

• How does sex fit into God's design for marriage?
• Why did God create men and women to think about sex differently?
• How can I light the spark in my relationship again?

Whether you're newlyweds or you've been married for decades, The Gift of Sex is a timeless guide to discovering the sexual fulfillment that you and your spouse deserve.
