Controversial New Book
A good friend of mine has certainly stirred things up in southern Indiana with her recently published and released book titled "Keeping His Pants On......Until He Comes Home"As you can see from this link: Author of 'Pants' dares to get a little cheeky: The Corydon Democrat, Joyce has created a little controversy and has given the town something to talk about.
The fact that Joyce is a minister’s wife and writing about such a “taboo” topic seems to evoke some strong sentiments based on the comments.
The cover of the book is what seems to be most controversial to many of the detractors, but it does not appear that many of them have actually read the book.
The book is a great read and would be very helpful to many couples having some marital discord.
It is based on Christian principles and this will unfortunately turn some off, but no one is forced to read it.
But whether you value Christian principles or not, this could be a very helpful book.
I council many couples who struggle with pornography, infidelity, and other marital issues and this book would be beneficial for many of them.
The old adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is very appropriate related to this new publication.
For those interested the book can be obtained at the following site:

It sounds like an awsome book.
Would it make a good gift for someone struggling or for a couple that needs to spice things up a bit?
I love questions like this! It gives me an opportunity to tell people that this book is a perfect fit for ALL marriages. As its subtitle suggests - "For Wome of All Ages in Marriages of All Stages," it is suitable for the "ideal" marriage, marriages already in the throes of divorce, and any marriage in between.
The basic, common-sense principles set forth in this book are reminders to what we all know as women, but in our busyness, we forget how important they remain. There is an urgency to attending to the needs of husbands, and it should be as routine as brushing your teeth. While this book focuses on intimacy, it provides other avenues of keeping home fires burning so that his focus is only on you. It is not designed for women to "bear the brunt" of the burden. To the contrary, it encourages you to aspire to being fulfilled as well.
The passion behind the book is the preservation of the universal family unit. Couples are barraged with outside forces - forces that can snare if wives aren't always vigilant. No marriage is immune to hazards; I have witnessed some of the strongest and most solid fall.
I have received numerous cards/letters, emails and phone calls from men and women all ages in all scenarios of marital status acclaiming its benefits. One lady visited her lawyer and stopped her divorce. One sweet couple who were happy as larks to begin with can't stop talking about how it has deepened their relationship.
So, go ahead. If you know someone struggling, it's a great gift. If you know a couple that's blissfully married, it can only enhance a great thing!

thanks Mrs. Oglesby for responding. I wish you luck with your book and am very happy there are people like you willing to take on tough topics.
It is a shame that you will most likely catch a lot of criticism.
Destruction of marriage seems to be common theme these days
From a personal standpoint, Dr. E saved our marriage. We went in to see him early one morning not telling him what are real issues were. He could tell something more was going on than what we stated and he pushed us until we admitted my husband had an affair.
He got us into crisis counseling after spending about an hour with us and putting him way behind with his other patients.
He gave us good sound Christian advice and guided us down the right path.
We are now 8 years out and doing well.
If he endorses the book, we would encourage anyone who is having problems to at least read it and get into some counseling.
Things can work out even in the darkest of times.
