Young believes it's time to get back to understanding the context of sex in marriage and that it's time for couples to bust through the barriers that are in the way of a healthy sexual relationship. Couples ought to experience the benefits of having sex regularly, intentionally, and creatively. THE 7-DAY SEX CHALLENGE will allow couples to discover that the intersection of God and sex can lead to a life punctuated by exclamation marks!

Pride. Anger. Envy. Slothfulness. Lust. Greed. Gluttony. Is this an out-of-date list of sins preached against by a behind-the-times church? Or are these sins a challenge and a stumbling block for those of us who are living at the dawn of the twenty-first century? Pastor Ed Young, Jr., says, "I believe you can not only live what the world calls a 'good life,' but you can live what God calls a 'rig life.'
You can be free of the things that are hanging you. But to be free, you can and must own up to the distractions described in this book."
