Book Title: The 6 Hearts of Intimacy

Author: Bob & Cheryl Moeller

Genre: Christian Non-fiction

Release date: September 11, 2018

Understand the way your spouse gives and receives love for greater passion in your marriage.

The 6 Hearts of Intimacy is a “Love Languages” for sex in marriage. Rather than focusing on techniques, it unlocks the secret to true sexual fulfillment by revealing the unique way each spouse gives and receives love. Various books describe the distinct ways in which people express and accept love, but this idea has never before been specifically applied to intimacy in marriage.

Marriage experts Bob and Cheryl Moeller present six biblically based and proven ways to enhance your relationship with your spouse as they describe the Romantic Heart, the Giving Heart, the Guardian Heart, the Companion Heart, the Worshiping Heart, and the Ecstatic Heart. They also expose the “counterfeit hearts” that are present in many people’s marriages, leaving their sexual relationship self-focused and empty.

Many couples spend a lifetime attempting to express their love yet fail to achieve true intimacy. Sensitively written with practical advice and humor, The 6 Hearts of Intimacy shows husbands and wives how to successfully resolve conflicts in their relationship and how to care daily for their spouse’s unique heart of sexual love.

My thoughts: Being old-school and raised by parents who were taught "You don't talk about sex", THE 6 HEARTS OF INTIMACY. I requested to review because I thought it might be helpful for my newlywed son and his bride, but now I wonder, "how awkward is that?"

I've been married for over thirty years to the same man and I can't tell you what type of Heart we have -- maybe a combination of all six. I'd probably get freaked out if some guy started writing me love poems, that'd be kind of creepy to me, so maybe not the romantic heart so much. And the first thirty minutes of my honeymoon was not spent praying beside the bed. What did happen kind of creeped me out, too. Hubby watched professional wrestling. Ugh. But he was just as nervous as I was.

We've grown since then. We have gone on childless dates. We have stargazed. We have prayed together as a couple. He tells me I'm beautiful. He reaches out and serves me and shows love by taking care of me, so maybe some couples can develop into THE 6 HEARTS OF INTIMACY over time. But some couples may not want to take the time and when the relationship flatlines they're outta there.

I'm not sure who to recommend this book to. Pastors? Counselors? Newlyweds? I asked my pastor husband and he said he was old-school, too. HA. Okay. Maybe marriage counselors or counseling pastors, or even you if you are floundering in a flatlined relationship with your spouse. Definitely a book to check out, if you are interested in revitalizing your marriage. Biblically-based with discussion questions it would be good for a husband and wife to study together or in a small group with others comfortable talking about it.
