Synopsis

Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, talk about sex and marriage in down-to-earth terms, hitting issues other Christian books won't. While a wonderful wedding day is important, it's the last day of marriage that really counts. Will the last day of your marriage come prematurely through divorce? Will it be filled with regrets as you sit at the funeral of your spouse? Or, by God's grace, will the last day be a time to rejoice in the life you lived together?Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, want you to finish well on the last day. They share private and painful issues that damaged their own marriage-including his introduction to pornography in elementary school and her abuse as a teenager at the hands of a boyfriend-and how they overcame them to experience healing and joy with each other again.Together they tackle the tough issues, such as:•Should I confess my pre-marital sexual sin to my spouse? •Is it okay to have a "work husband/wife"? •Can I say no to sex when I really do have a headache? •What does the Bible say about masturbation and oral sex?From fun date night tips to the most tricky "can we do that?" sex questions, Mark and Grace share practical help and hope with people just like them-who entered marriage a complete mess-or who are planning to be married someday and want to avoid some sticky pitfalls.

While I agree that a lot of criticism towards him is warranted I do think a lot of it unhelpful and presumptuous.......more

Goodreads review by Alexis Neal on September 05, 2012

A day late and a dollar short is better than never, right? Mark Driscoll, the shock jock of the Reformed world, waded into the marriage book fray earlier this year with Real Marriage, which is essentially his sermon series on the Song of Solomon distilled into book form. And not distilled all that we......more

Goodreads review by John on May 29, 2012

quotes that interested/inspire me: "Marriage either gets bitter or gets better." "It is common to hear married people speak of "falling out of love" with their spouses, and "falling in love" with someone else in adultery. In using the language of "falling" they are cleverly avoiding any responsibility......more

Goodreads review by Josie on January 09, 2013

I ended up skimming large portions of this book. I got sick of the stereotypes and a lot of the trite advice ("pray together!" "read your Bible!" "Bring your problems to God and He will help you!"). Unfortunately, so many peoples' problems are way more complicated. Yes, the overall message that you......more
