Thank you to Jeff and Sarah Harris and the Goodreads program for providing me with this free copy!
A must have book for all couples regardless of whether you have been married for decades or are newlyweds. I really enjoyed the banter between Jeff and Sarah. It is obvious that their relationship has succeeded because of their ability to communicate and express themselves. There were some minor areas that I was in disagreement with; but other than that it is refreshing to read a book written by an ordinary everyday couple that have "figured it out". Very worthwhile read!
A simple and accessible but unfortunately limited book on sex for heterosexual couples. There are many sound universal principles and much common sense advice here that would be helpful in any committed relationship, in or out of marriage, gay or straight. However, the authors are very upfront and honest about their religious bias and target audience. They are coming from a highly conservative Christian/Mormon background and openly express the view that the only possible configuration for a truly satisfying sexual relationship is heterosexual marriage, preferably where both partners have no prior sexual history. The authors go to lengths to express that they are not hostile to others outside their community by displaying that patronizing bigotry that allows them to do lip service to others' rights while still expressing their superiority. I did find useful information in this book but unless a reader is coming from a very conservative Christian background, they will have to keep a hugely open mind to see through the rhetoric.
I received Do It Better: Twelve Sexual Routines and Principles You Wish You Knew by Sarah and Jeff Harris through a Goodreads giveaway. I have to admit I don't think any of the routines or principals outlined are life-changing, yet I certainly think this wouldn't be a bad read for heterosexual couples who have been having difficulties discussing or finding compromise in their sexual relationship. I especially think the first half of the book, which is based around creating a healthy routine, would be quite helpful for people looking for guidance.
I also enjoyed the conversational format of Do It Better. It was a great way to hear both Sarah and Jeff's perspective on the topics which they are discussing. That might be one of the important aspects of Do It Better. For heterosexual couples, knowing the advice they're receiving hasn't been designed only from a male or female perspective gives it a bit more significance.
Though Do It Better won't blow you away it might definitely be something to read for couples looking for some help in improving their sexual lives.
The guidance is very thought out and helpful, especially if you feel like your sex life is being put on the back burner. It does get a bit graphic in the second half of the book, but no worse than some of the romance fiction out there. The main reason I gave it a three-star rating is because of the format and the bias. While the information was good and though provoking, it was a bit grating to read the back and forth between the couple. They were funny and never crude, but I wish it had been a more traditional book with paragraphs. And while the bias wasn't blatantly obvious, the undertone was felt throughout. No shame in believing in chastity before marriage, but in the first half of the book it is hammered home pretty hard. If you had relations before marriage, you might feel a bit "shamed" or irritated by this aspect of the book.
**I received a copy fo this book in exchange for an honest review.**
This book by the Sarah and Jeff took a great deal of courage to write. Who among us would like to put in print our continually seeking to make our married sex life better? They have over 20 years of working together and their book shows that it is just that -- together. A wonderful presentation of why marriage is better than sex outside of marriage, because of the commitment each has for the other. A definitely good read and I am happy to have received it through the Goodreads giveaways.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book through READINGDEALS.COM so I could give an honest review....
This is my honest review:
The only reason I'm reading this is because I'm stuck doing a review for it and if I wasn't in the contract with it I would had already removed it this book is going to get a very low 3 star rating for it is that boring. This book is a discussion between the authors Sara and Jeff about what makes a marriage work in their opinions...just have to read to figure it out...But don't waste your money or time cause it's that boring...
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
I was excited to read this book and hoped for the best with high expectations. Let me say that I was not disappointed. Very candid and detailed, I loved it all. Definitely will help in areas that my husband and I are not familiar with in the event that we want to get started in. Will definitely be applying these techniques and recommend this book to ALL married couples no matter how long they have been married. Very good!!
I won this book on Goodreads! This book is like having 2 people in your head. some of the principals completely blew my mind where as others I didn't agree with. A lot of it makes you think about how to better your relationship. which is where your focus should be. thanks Jeff and Sarah for your info.
