A notable resource for heterosexual couples.


Love Making: The Intimate Journey in Marriage. By Lydia Dykes Talmadge & William C. Talmadge. St. Paul St. Paul

as a missionary he fearlessly confronts the “perils of waters, of robbers, in the city, in the wilderness.” [N.T.: II Cor. 11:26]

See : Bravery
, MN: Syren Book Co., 220 pages. Paper, $20.00.

Psychologists Lydia and William Talmadge provide an outstanding marital enhancement text for committed heterosexual couples. The book is complete, concise, and eminently readable, appropriately referenced, and filled with relevant case histories and specific love-rating scales.

This text empowers each member of a committed heterosexual couple to negotiate for the meaningful warmth each may want in the relationship. As professional sex therapists, the Talmages include specifics on both male and female anatomy, as well as specifics on gentle progressive psychological intimacy. It has long been appreciated that there may be many committed heterosexual couples who are physically intimate without necessarily achieving psychological intimacy.

The cover of the book symbolizes the content: a sensitive, delicate, exquisitely artistic illustration of the physical, psychological, and spiritual blending of a committed couple in multiple hues of soft blue and green. I plan to keep this exemplary text on my desk for ready and thoughtful reference for students and patients alike!
