Kiss Me Again

July 15, 2009
Psychologist Slattery ("Beyond the Masquerade") and Wilson ("The Invisible Bond: How To Break Free from Your Sexual Past") both write from an evangelical Christian viewpoint in encouraging women to enjoy sex within marriage. Slattery takes a comprehensive approach to reigniting sexuality, discussing gender differences, body image, and the exhaustion of having young children. Her light doses of humor and honesty pull the reader along.

Wilson comes from a rehabilitative stance, helping readers overcome past mistakes and trauma to re-create loving relationships. She includes journaling exercises, husband/wife discussion questions, and a ten-week study guide. Both authors interweave their text with Bible verses and references to being the woman God wants one to be. While both books would circulate well in Christian communities, Slattery's would be slightly more accessible to women of other faiths.
