The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended \| Restore Passion in Christian Marriage \| Biblical Relationship Book for Couples

Sheila Wray Gregoire and her co-authors challenge modern evangelical teachings on intimacy by examining data from a survey of over 20,000 Christian women. The book identifies harmful cultural tropes, such as the obligation of "sexual duty" and the belief that men are inherently unable to control their visual fixations. By contrasting these common church frameworks against biblical texts, the authors argue that healthy relationships require mutual consent, emotional connection, and female pleasure rather than female submission to male drives.

This book is for Christian couples and individuals who feel frustrated or shamed by traditional religious marriage advice. Readers engage with these chapters to identify why their physical relationship feels clinical or one-sided. People walk away with a vocabulary to reject guilt-based intimacy and a practical framework for building a partnership based on shared joy and equality. The text provides specific tools for dismantling the "gatekeeper" and "needy" archetypes that often hinder genuine connection between spouses.
