Intended for Pleasure: Sex Technique and Sexual Fulfillment in Christian Marriage

Ed Wheat, M.D., and Gaye Wheat

Intended for Pleasure is a straightforward Christian guide to developing a healthy and fulfilling sexual relationship within marriage. Combining biblical teaching with Dr. Wheat’s medical knowledge and years of work with married couples, the book treats sexual intimacy as a good gift from God rather than a subject Christians should approach with embarrassment or silence. The Wheats discuss both the emotional and physical dimensions of intimacy, offering practical information about sexual response, communication, common difficulties, changing seasons of marriage, and ways husbands and wives can grow in understanding and enjoyment of one another. Its frank but respectful approach has made it a longstanding resource for married and engaged couples as well as pastors and marriage counselors.
