When Charla Muller’s husband turned 40, she gave him something memorable. Sex. Every day. For an entire year.
The Mullers had a solid marriage and two wonderful children, but over the years sex had fallen low on their to-do list. The lack of intimacy wasn’t causing them to drift apart, exactly, but their connection didn’t seem as great as it could be. Charla decided she couldn’t go on pretending the relationship they once had wasn’t important.
The couple would embark on a year of scheduled sex, falling over Tonka trucks and piles of laundry in an effort to make time for each other. There were obstacles along the way (work implosions, faking it) and questions came to light. Will sex every day strengthen a marriage, or reveal the cracks? Pull a couple together or drive them apart? Does good sex (even mediocre sex) make up for things that aren’t so good?
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Booooring... Comment: I thought it was a great idea what she did, and I was really excited to read this book. But it was so boring! She barely talked about the sex, and rambled on and on about how she likes to cook, about her life, and barely discussed the impact the gift made on their sex life. I read the first half, felt bored to tears, and skipped to the epilogue where I got the gist of the entire book. The only reason she gets 2 stars for this book is because I loved the idea behind the gift and thought it was gutsy that she then wrote a book about it. I just wish the book had had more oomph. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Book Comment: This is a good book... exactly what you think it would be. It's not written by a Ph.D. or anything... just a wife telling about her year of sex. I guess it can be inspiring to a woman who wants to help her sex life. Dont let your husband read it or he'll want the gift of sex every day. Customer Rating: Summary: Ladies - Buy this book for your husband!!! Comment: What's the 2nd largest complaint men make about the woman in their life? (Most women know the first is they don't "get" enough.) - Most men find women confusing. (Face it ladies, most of us do think the men in our lives should be able read our minds after a number of years.)
Charla Muller offers an insider's look at the realities of "married with children" in an honest, light-hearted, shoot from the hip style. I had so many "hey-that's me" moments that I lost count after the first chapter. Read this book ladies and you will find out that you are not alone. Give this book to your husband and you may find they understand you just a bit better.
The best relationship book since Men Are From Mars and Women are From Venus! Customer Rating: Summary: INTIMACY Comment: It's got positive energy about it, positive concepts and overall it's about a style of living rather then about sex of love. If someone wants a detailed how-to guide - this is not it. The book goes as a diary starting with a conversation between the author and her husband, which leads into some funny anecdotes about experiences in her life that impacted who she is today and therefore what she brings into her marriage.
To go more into a self help book about this topic i will highly recommend I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't Customer Rating: Summary: There is more than sex! Comment: As a male reader, it is fascinating to TRY to comprehend the sexual mind of women as compared to men's mindLESS view. Surprisingly, sexy Charla provides us with an entertaining and honest view from herself and 99% of her girl, book, and bible groups. Men would like to meet that 1% girlfriend that she mentioned. Ordinary Charla's down home style writing is refreshing and not premeditated journalism. Other reviewers' needs may be for deep academic written text on sex, or for 365 nights of Karma Sutra G-spot sex, or for the biblical view of sex, or for the professional romance mills of sex. This was one couple's struggle to creatively keep sex as JUST part of their marriage. This couple is having fun through life's mundane routines which says they have a lot more intimacy than sex. They are touching each other's souls with real love. You will enjoy this book to read and share.
