Keeping His Pants On Until He Gets Home

Filed under: Writing and Wreading — Christa Allan @ 5:30 pm

Since I renamed my blog Fictionary after Natalie Jost designed this site, almost all of my blog tours, author interviews, and book reviews can be found there. A few exceptions-like yesterday’s My Beautiful Mommy (my subtitle: after she’s had her nose fixed, tummy tucked, and boobs lifted) which I presented here as social commentary.

Today, however, I’m crossing over because the book by Joyce Oglesby posted on Fictionary is so wonderfully radical and refreshingly honest, that I don’t want anyone who reads this to miss it. After all, who could resist a book with the title Keeping His Pants On Until He Gets Home?

And knowing that Joyce is a mom, grandmother, and a minister’s wife makes it all the more appealing.

The same age as Joyce, I’m thrilled she’s acknowledging that Christianity is not synonymous with boring sex:

“Your creative and unrelenting attention to him is your best hope of immunity to unfaithfulness or to a humdrum sex life.  Explore with me the urgency to revisit the time when your heart burned for his touch and you longed for the excitement of sexual surrender. You will become empowered as your emotional and sexual desires are satisfied and you discover rich depths of love that strengthen your relationship. We’ll learn why and how to preserve intimacy in your marriage, and you won’t have to worry about where his pants land when they come off. They’ll be at your feet!”

And then there’s this cover……………………..so cruise over to FICTIONARY and read the rest!

The laughs start with the
title, continue through the
poem in chapter one
(worth the price of the
book) and last all the way
through to the final
chapter. And while she
has you laughing, she
provides honest, practical
advice. Two thumps up!
If I were all thumbs,
I’d give it ten!”

James Watkins, Author
Sex is Not a Four-Letter Word

and, yes, she’s writing a book for men about their wives!

  1. Christa, Thanks so much for featuring “Pants” on your blog. I have such passion for this message. Many marriages suffer not only from staleness from busyness and/or lack of the spark that keeps the romance new and fresh, but also from the invasion of pornography, infidelity, or other sexually immoral behaviors. Preserving the history two people begin at the altar is a key ingredient in beginning to stabilize our precious family unit again. I look forward to comments from your blog audience.
