As a young bride, Jennifer Smith couldn’t wait to build her life with the man she adored. She dreamed of closeness, of being fully known and loved by her husband. But the first years of marriage were nothing like she’d imagined. Instead, they were marked by disappointment and pain. Trapped by fear and insecurity, and feeling totally alone, Jennifer cried out to God: What am I doing wrong? Why is this happening to us? It was as if a veil had descended between her and her husband, and between her and God―one that kept her from experiencing the fullness of love. How did Jennifer and her husband survive the painful times? What did they do when they were tempted to call it quits? How did God miraculously step in during the darkest hour to rescue and redeem them, tearing down the veil once and for all? The Unveiled Wife is a real-life love story; one couple’s refreshingly raw, transparent journey touching the deep places in a marriage that only God can reach. If you are feeling disappointment or even despair about your marriage, the heart-cry of this book is: You are not alone. Discover through Jennifer’s story how God can bring you through it all to a place of transformation.

Gillen I know that the subtitle reads, "Embracing intimacy with God and your husband" but I'm a husband and I dared read the book. Excellent book Jennifer (and Aaron)! I highly recommend The Unveiled Wife to every husband who wants to dig deeper and really know his wife. It dialed up my awareness and challenged me to see my wife as God made her. It humbled me as I read how Aaron loved Jennifer well during 4 years of sexual famine. His example of seeking after God and loving Jennifer through her emotional and physical hurt challenges me. Marriage is a delicate balance of spiritual, emotional, physical and sexual health. We can't do it well without putting God first. This book made me take a close look at my priorities and evaluate if I'm being selfless or selfish in my relationship with my wife. Men, please read The Unveiled Wife and see how you can better support and love your wife whether or not your needs are being met. It will challenge you to read Ephesians 5:25-28 over and over again. God will anoint your relationship with your wife and make it better than ever. Aaron and Jennifer are great examples of what He can do.

By Tracy Although the title sounds like a Christian marriage advice book, The Unveiled Wife is mostly a chronological narrative of her relationship with her husband with discussion questions at the end of each chapter. I think that a person who has been married less than a decade probably does not have the perspective needed to write a marriage book. I am interested to see what kind of book she writes in another ten years.Ok, now for the content--I would say spoiler alert, but can you spoil a marriage book by talking about it? Jennifer and Aaron did not have intercourse until they had been married for four years, due to the pain she felt--definitely a difficult and stressful marital problem. She waited a year (!) before consulting a doctor, who did not really take her distress seriously. Rather than find another doctor, or ask for a referral to a psychotherapist, they just kept sort of trying and occasionally asking for advice from couples at church.Throughout the narrative she suggests several factors that may have been to blame: teenage tension with her father, the church culture that focuses on virginity, not having a relationship with God that is intimate enough are just some of the possibilities she mentions. Finally, her husband recalls a comment about chemicals in products affecting a woman with an entirely different problem, suggests giving up ONE product and they consummate their marriage.Later they say that they do not know if the product made the difference or whether it was a placebo effect, but this has become one of her causes. I could not help but think that going to an endocrinologist would have been a great idea (because it may have been the chemicals, no one knows for sure) and going to a therapist would have been an incredibly awesome idea.Jennifer and Aaron moved constantly during the first four years, being homeless at times. Surprisingly, she never seemed to consider whether their lack of privacy and the uncertainty of a home and income contributed to the problem (um, making her feel sort of like they weren't really grown up and married, maybe?). In fact, her desire for a home is seen as sin, since they had agreed to pay off his student loans first. She discussed being depressed, but never sought help for depression. Why are some Christians so bad at seeking professional help and why didn’t even one of her older married friends suggest it? I know she feels like God taught her a lot during those four years, but perhaps God could have also taught her a lot (maybe a lot more) by seeking the wise counsel of doctors and therapists. She spent so much time trying to figure out what she was guilty of, when she could have gotten help. I hope this book does not keep other young couples struggling on their own when there is help available.Note: I received an ARC of the book from Tyndale House via Netgalley.

I was desperate to relate to someone and get some answers. Although I appreciate that she poured her heart out about her issues and is in turn helping other women, I just couldn't relate to her. The book left me with so many questions about her journey. Like why would you wait 1 year before consulting an OB/GYN if you couldn't have intercourse with your husband? And after she got no answers from her doctor why wouldn't she get a second opinion or consult with a counselor? So she let it go another 3 years before she pursued more answers about her issue? I would have been all over the problem scheduling doctor appointment after doctor appointment. I know everyone's situation is different, but that's why I say I couldn't relate to her in the book. I'm sure she had great reasons that I just don't know about. I'm glad she grew in God and found out lots about herself during her journey which in turn saved her marriage, but I still wonder what the first 4 years of marriage would have been like if she would have gotten some professional counseling.Also they mention that chemicals in her face cream "could" have caused the problem but they can't be sure. She really wasn't sure of what "fixed" her. Was it the chemicals or letting down her mental walls? Either way, letting down your walls would definitely help the relationship but the book ended with uncertainty. Just not what I expected.
