Amelia and Greg Clarke have written this friendly, enjoyable and highly informative introduction to sex in marriage.

They also consider the consequences of sexual sin for a married couple.

This is a book for anyone who is getting married, or has been married for a while and is trying to keep the embers glowing.

Amelia Clarke is a doctor specializing in sexual health, and Greg Clarke is a former writer and editor at Matthias Media who now works at the Centre for Public Christianity.
