I appreciated the viewpoint of this book and conversational tone of this book. However, I’ve read other books on the topic with a Christian perspective that I’ve enjoyed more. Including Sheet Music by the same author.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

Kevin Leman is a favorite author when it comes to talking straight about sex and intimacy. I enjoyed this read, but feel it was very similar to points in Sheet Music, which overall I found more thorough and the more recommendable read. It is a good refresher book for couples who have spent some years in marriage and could use a boost to their sex life. I think this author is always someone to recommend and get conversation started!

Fun, conversational tone - like listening to a motivational speaker. Faith-based and centered around traditional marriage, traditional gender roles and divisions are assumed on the part of the reader.

I usually enjoy Dr. Leman's books. He's witty and practical in his advice. This one fell a little flat. I felt like I'd read it all before and it could have been condensed into an article rather than a book. If you are looking for a better example of his intimacy advice I would choose 'Sheet Music'.

I received an ebook to facilitate my review.

This book is really readable--I love how it's broken down into one section to read each day of the week, plus corresponding questions at the end. The style is straightforward and humorous, which helps make a somewhat uncomfortable topic more comfortable. I did get a little annoyed with a few of the exaggerated generalizations about men and women, and I wish there had been a few more ideas about how to set the stage, especially for women...because the tips seemed to be, give your wife a bubble bath, light candles, take her to a fancy restaurant, and/or buy flowers. I have to say, as a woman, I like flowers, I don't like candles, I really don't like fancy restaurants, and I can only take so many baths before I'm bored. So, some fresh ideas for setting the mood would have made the book better. Overall, though, I do think this is a helpful start for couples wanting to improve their sex life.

I recently got into a new relationship. My previous relationship faltered in part because we had a lackluster sex life. My new relationship was already a bit different in that we were both more sexually experienced and there was more chemistry. Even so, I wasn't really sure how to keep the relationship hot. This book helped with that. Granted, the book seems more aimed at readers already in a relationship, or married, but that lack excitement in their sex life. However, the book is useful even for people just beginning a new relationship. Leman's advice is pretty basic and probably won't take couples already enjoying sexual intimacy to the next level. But it might help those struggling. In particular, I like how the book focuses on why couples need and want sex, helping the reader understand that sex isn't just a luxury in a relationship. I don't think the book revolutionized my way of looking at sex in a relationship so much as reminding me that it's something to work on every day with a partner. And that in itself is valuable.

Like Dr. Lehman's other Friday books, this one is a quick read with useful information. I was a little disappointed that it seemed to be re-packaging of some of his previous books on marriage and intimacy. Not everything here will help everyone, but there is enough information here to improve any marriage, if the couple is willing to put some work into it.

I gratefully received this book as an eARC fro the author, publisher, and NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

If anyone could help you improve your sex life, Dr. Kevin Leman has good advice to help you do just that. In his new release, Have a New Sex Life By Friday, Dr. Leman shares a lot of information on improving your sex life. . .and your marriage in this book.

As you work your way through a week of improving intimacy with your spouse, Dr. Leman shares on Monday why women need sex, on Tuesday why men want sex, on Wednesday how other people in your lives (past and present) affect your sex life, on Thursday how to use your words to help improve and shape your sex life and on Friday he shares how to add spice to your sex life.

Have a New Sex Life by Friday is full of good information on how to make your sex life a "Wow" sex life. Dr. Leman has worked as a therapist for over 30 years and has been married for over 40 years. He shares a lot of basic information that many couples may not know, or they may need to be reminded of when their sex life begins to wain. Along with all of his good information, he also shares a lot of common questions and stories from Christian couples as he answers questions in the last half of the book that relate to each day's section in the book. He also makes reading this book fun with his great sense of humor.

My husband and I have been married for many years and recently faced challenges of four moves in three years with a special needs child that took it's toll on our physical intimacy, because we couldn't make time for it the way we needed to during that season. Have a New Sex Life by Friday had a lot of good ideas for us to not only make time but to make things better when we did take time. While this book is aimed at Christian couples, I think it could help most couples that are looking for improvements in this area. Dr. Leman covers pretty much all angles of this issue--with his great sense of humor . I read bits and pieces to my husband and we had some good discussions. We appreciated how down to earth and easy to relate to Dr. Leman is. I highly recommend this book.
