Many couples find themselves at a point where they need a
passion boost. How can husbands and wives break through the many
obstacles and issues that have derailed their desire and get back
on track to being the crazy-in-love couple they once were?
Solomon had a few secrets up his ancient sleeves, and marriage
therapist Dr. David Clarke helps readers learn why the passionate
exchanges and God-inspired, 3,000-year-old techniques of Solomon
and Shulamith worked then--and still work today. Readers will learn
how to troubleshoot problems and conflicts, put each other first,
employ praise, have fun, flirt, be more playful and sensual, and
rediscover the lost art of a great kiss.
Every married couple can experience exhilarating passion; Dr.
Clarke and the Song of Solomon reveal how!
Goodbye, passion? Not so fast.
Yes, it's true--that glorious, heart-pumping feeling of love and
desire does seem to vanish in the wake of kids, careers, and, well,
life. But you can reclaim that mad-for-you, crazy-in-love feeling,
and this time it will be deeper and more intimate than ever before.
Your guide? King Solomon, the Bible's greatest lover, who has a few
secrets up his ancient sleeve about how a husband and wife can
experience unending passion--and have a blast doing it.
Psychologist and marriage therapist Dr. David Clarke shows you why

first, have fun, flirt, and be more playful and sensual.
You got married because you were over-the-moon wild about each
other, and you can experience that exhilarating passion again; the

“True passion is not a phase of marriage. It is designed by God to be a permanent part of marriage.” (source)
“When your infatuation passion ceases, you must reverse the process. Now, you must engage in romantic behavior first and then your feelings of passion—deeper and more intimate—will follow.” (source)
“One simple way to cultivate best friend status in your marriage is to always share your life experiences first with your spouse.” (source)
“Your spouse is more important than everyone and everything else in your life. To make this biblical truth a reality, peel yourself off whomever and whatever is above your spouse. Give your spouse permission to tell you—anytime— when he or she does not feel like the top priority in your life.” (source)
“Kids are one of what I call The Big Six: persons and activities that can sneak ahead of your spouse on your priority list.” (source)
