''The Act of Marriage: The Beauty of Sexual Love'' is a self-help book, written by Christian writers Tim and Beverly LaHaye. ==Introduction== ''The Act of Marriage'' is concerned with helping couples, particularly the female partner, to achieve sexual satisfaction. The book was first printed in 1976 and boasts a readership of over 2.5 million readers.〔LaHaye, Tim, and Beverly LaHaye. ''The Act of Marriage: The Beauty of Sexual Love.'' Grand Rapids, Michigan: Zondervan, 1998.〕 While the book is written to be understood by anyone, the primary audience is meant to be Christians.〔(Description from the publisher )〕 Indeed, the book is noteworthy for opening up dialogue among Christians about their sexuality〔(Review ) by Publishers Weekly〕〔("Christians Promote Holy, Hot Sex in Marriage" at abc.com )〕—especially female sexuality and sexual satisfaction.〔(review ) by Library Journal〕〔Heller, J. 2002. "Marriage, Womanhood, and the Search for 'Something More': American Evangelical Women's Best-selling 'Self Help' Books, 1972–1979", ''The Journal of Religion and Pop Culture'', 2. ()〕 Unlike other self-help books which address human sexuality, ''The Act of Marriage'' helps readers identify how their spirituality and religious beliefs can enhance their love lives.〔 Since its initial publishing in 1976, ''The Act of Marriage'' has been published again in 1998 as ''The Act Of Marriage, Revised & Updated'' 〔http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product/939756774?item_no=21177&event=CF〕 and again in 2000 as ''The Act of Marriage after 40: Making Love for Life''.〔http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=31141&event=CF〕 Rolling Stone magazine criticized the book as "an explicit Christian sex manual, condemning 'petting,' abortion and homosexuality."〔("Reverend Doomsday" ) in the Rolling Stone〕 However, many Christian groups hail the book as a milestone in contemporary Christian sex education.〔(Salon.com )〕〔(Meridian Magazine )〕〔(familyfed.org )〕〔(Marriagemoments.org )〕 It has been endorsed by "Pastors, doctors, and psychologists alike".〔(MSN Shopping )〕 This claim of professional endorsement, however, is made by the publisher without any accompanying data which would allow for verification and there have been no statements of this nature made by the American Medical Association or the American Psychological Association.
