I am not sure where to put this request...so I put it here. My newbie in Christ, friend from highschool, she is asking me books/videos to watch to help her with proper thinking of sex in marriage. She used to be promiscuous and has not been for 15 years, since she married...she has been faithful to her husband but beats hereself up as she was pretty wild before marriage.
Her coming to Christ has been a process of years...closer than rejecting Christ...then coming back to finally really getting his wonderful love recently.
I tell her about the bible says...and all that...but want to suggest a lot of books and videos, as she eat them all up and is hungry for more.
Can you suggest some for me to forward to her? To help her, a married woman, think of the marriage bed the way Christ intended?
God bless...

Your friend is now married?
The first thing for her to realize is how great the forgiveness of God is toward us repentant sinners.

Two books and a CD series...
First, your friend needs to get a firm understanding of who she is in Christ and how God sees her. I would recommend Classic Christianity by Bob George.
Secondly, for her marriage I would recommend the book Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. And also, to help her with her marriage is a tape series by the aforementioned Bob George called Marriage: A Matter of Identification.
I am sure you can find Eggerichs book at any Christian bookstore or website. The best place for Bob George's materials is at his website, People To People.
Grace and Peace
