"The course was well thought out. She started with God's design and then built from there. Her section on 'How to Initiate Sex - Fear of Rejection' was really helpful. Honestly, my husband wasn't very excited about doing the course, but it helped bring up some topics that we should have talked about a long time ago."

"My husband and I have had some troubles over the years navigating sex. Hurt feelings, withholding, and lack of interest. Melissa tied God's word with her experience as a therapist and working with couples like us. Not all the topics were easy to talk about, but her worksheets were helpful. I've recommended the course to my niece and her fiancé, too."
