Description

Months--and sometimes years--of planning go into creating the perfect wedding. But when the last piece of wedding cake is eaten and the rice is thrown, many couples realize they've not put much thought into their honeymoon. Because it's imperative to let the honeymoon and sexual relationship for a couple set the tone for their life as a couple together, two respected physicians draw from their extensive premarital counseling experiences to compile this invaluable guide of honeymoon essentials. It's all here--from birth-control options and a calendar for travel arrangements to medications to have on hand and God's design for the honeymoon. There are even ideas which will help each couple assemble a custom "honeymoon kit." Bride's Eyes Only and Groom's Eyes Only chapters offer solid advice for the sexual relationship. A one-week devotional section with daily reflections for the first week as husband and wife will help launch any marriage with the right spiritual foundation. The time couples invest in preparing for this important week of marriage and life together will reap years of rewards!

Praise for The Honeymoon of Your Dreams
The Honeymoon of Your Dreams is a book that will help couples get started from
day one with developing the right skills for living together. The positive
financial results of a marriage built on a proper foundation will impact not
only the marriage, but future generations as well. This book is bound
to have a very long life.

Author, Master Your Money
This is some of the most practical, sensible, wise and God-honoring advice I have ever read on this subject. I read everything Dr. Walt Larimore writes and, combined with Dr. Susan Crockett, they have created what will be a “classic” on this subject. When my three daughters get married, I will hand them this book.
Jim Burns, Ph.D.

Author, Creating an Intimate Marriage
This is a long-overdue book. As a seminary professor, I want to get this into the hands of my students for them to give copies to all of the couples they counsel.

This book is a delightful gem, full of practical wisdom and sound medical suggestions to start a God-honoring marriage on the proper foundation. Perfect for couples planning to marry as well as a marvelous resource for pastors, counselors and family members who love them! Even the appendices, websites listed and the bibliography are loaded with pearls.

The Honeymoon of Your Dreams is medically reliable, biblically sound advice that should be packaged with every engagement ring. It will be the first book I give when my two unmarried children decide to marry. It should be subtitled, “A Marriage Insurance Policy.”
David Stevens, MD, MA
Executive Director, Christian Medical and Dental Associations Bristol, Tennessee
As a professional Christian psychiatrist, I found myself blown away with the new insights in The Honeymoon of Your Dreams. The book not only gave excellent medical, theological and psychological advice for the honeymoon period but also excellent advice on premarital counseling, communications and a host of other helpful areas of marital adjustments. I highly recommend this book not only for} the bride and groom but also for the parents of the bride and groom and even for professional therapists like myself.

The Honeymoon of Your Dreams is a great book that fills a void in the library of every pastor and Christian counselor. It is easy to read and filled with useful information. I learned things I wished I had known 35 years ago.
Ed Dawson, MS

I wish to express my enthusiastic endorsement of this writing as scripturally and spiritually rock-solid. I only regret that my wife, Laura, and I were not able to draw on the great insights and suggestions set forth in this book when we were married. I plan on sharing this information with my two children when the time is right.

Thanks to Walt and Sue for such a practical, scriptural, well-written and well-designed resource. This book masterfully addresses (and closes) the biggest hole in premarital counseling in the North American Church. It is a resource I can confidently recommend to patients and friends alike.
Burritt W. Hess, MD
Family Physician
Gatesville, Texas
What a wonderful resource! Walt Larimore and Susan Crockett have written an unflinchingly honest and biblically accurate handbook for honeymooners. I already have patients to whom I can’t wait to give this book.
Julian T. Hsu, MD

I highly recommend this book for all engaged couples. Drs. Crockett and Larimore are on to something with the importance they place on the honeymoon as a significant launching pad for marriage.
