Remember how I mentioned around Valentine’s Day that I’d heard Carolyn Mahaney on the radio speaking about “grade A” passion and it was the best message on sex and marriage I’d ever heard? Well, ladies, I finally discovered Carolyn has written a book. And in “the seven virtues of a godly wife and mother” we find the secret to true Feminine Appeal.

The entire book is fabulous. You can read my more in-depth reviews of the rest of it on ylcf.org. But I wanted to point you married ladies to the chapter that is jam-packed with biblical principles for a passionate, exciting sex life: “The Pleasure of Purity.”

God intends for us to experience tremendous joy and satisfaction when we express our sexuality within the confines of marriage. Marital union and fidelity allow a husband and wife to wholly delight in each other… Purity’s pleasure is receiving sex as a wonderful gift from our Creator and enjoying it for His glory. (pg. 82)

The great thing about Feminine Appeal is that it captures the entirety of feminine appeal. How many married ladies can boast a great sex life with their husband when they don’t treat him with kindness and goodness? Carolyn makes it clear that the marriage relationship is not all about sex. And neither does exciting sex start at bedtime. That’s what the third principle for “grade A” passion (aka “exciting sex”) is all about:

1. Be Attractive
2. Be Available
3. Be Anticipatory

Remember that sex was God’s idea in the first place, and He is passionately committed to blessing the marriage bed, for our pleasure and His glory. (pg. 98)

It’s worth the price of the book just for this chapter alone. But if you read the whole book, you’ll discover there’s a whole lot more to Feminine Appeal than just sex appeal. It’s all worth acquiring. (But each of the seven virtues will benefit your sex life!)
