I finished Sheet Music by Kevin Leman last night. Today I read the Q&A's in the back. Normally I am not a fan of "self-help" type books, but when Trisha told me about this one, I just had to read it. Most of my life I have felt that sex is a chore. I felt I was only doing it to have babies, but once we decided to not have any more babies, I just felt like I was doing it so my husband wouldn't cheat. If you don't know, my husband's family is full of cheating people. While I want to trust him completely, all the family affairs are always in the back of my mind. This one of the things that led to my depression the past few months.
While reading this book I learned that there are other women out there who feel the same way. Dr. Leman describes the differences between sexual desire/fulfillment in men and women. I felt that he was describing me to a T. I loved learning about why sex is important to men and can now understand how it can make our marriage stronger. Our marriage wasn't in trouble, but I just didn't enjoy sex. After a week of this book I got a new attitude about it and really feel that things are working better.
It took a few weeks to read this, because we are reading it together as a couple. I recommend it to anyone who feels that they are just "too pooped to whoop". :)

I also want to say that I didn't agree with everything he said. But I did really find the book helpful.
