"Writing in a conversational, first person style,
Gregoire offers understanding, sensitivity and practical in
into one of the most parts of marriageÖWhether engaged,
newly married or married for many years, this book is a great
tool, packed with useful suggestions." (Kelly Rempel Christian

"This book offers a practical Christian approach to tackling the
sexual frustrations often felt by couples, particularly young
parents of growing families. Gregoire has sensitively tackled a
complex subject matter with honesty and humor and touches on many
things men and women often don't know how to identify or are
hesitant to bring up. Each chapter closes with a brief overview
for the men, which I personally found helpful in better
understanding what had just been written for the women." (Carolyn

"Honey, I Don't Have a Headache Tonight is a delightful new book
by Sheila Wray Gregiore. The age-old problem of unmatched sexual
drives between married partners is addressed in frank terms. The
author states that both partners should be able to thoroughly
relish the sexual relationship. Gregiore hopes to preserve
Christian families by helping women resolve conflicts in the
bedroom. . . . I especially liked the chapter on respect that
showed the difference between carrying each other's burdens and
crrying another's loads. 'When we routinely do things for other
people that they should do for themselves, we allow them to treat
us in an un-Christlike manner,' states Gregiore. She bases her
teaching on scriptures, weaving them into every chapter. I would
recommend this book to wives who are discontent with their sexual
relations, those who want to overcome obstacles that keep them
from enjoying sex fully in their marriage. I would suggest it to
women who have hit snags in their marriages, from which they want
to disentangle themselves." (Elece Hollis

This book is incredibly practical and funny. I was on the floor
over Spotty and the gecko and his (lack of a) love life. The
author covers an incredible number of issues that can cause a
stalemate in the bedroom. Her knowledge of biology is sound and
her solutions are 'real.' A must read for women who want to
improve their perspective about married sexuality. This would
also be a good book for wives to read and discuss with their
husbands. I think the author's ability to talk honestly about how
women feel would benefit them, plus there is a page 'For Him' at
the end of each chapter which summarizes the chapter and offers a
few suggestions for husbands." (Dennis Hillman Kregel

From the Back Cover
-------------------
It’s 10:00 p.m. He wants to start snuggling. You want to start
snoring.
He feels unloved because you aren’t “in the mood,” and you feel
unloved because he only cares about one thing.
Honey, I Don’t Have a Headache helps you overcome this
frustrating stalemate by looking at the obstacles to every
woman’s sex drive—hectic schedules, romanceless husbands,
negative body image, and more. This practical—and often
humorous—book gives advice on how to turn up the heat in your
marriage when a solitary bubble bath seems much more enticing
than your hubby waiting in the bedroom.
