"[Wallace] makes an eloquent case for sexual fidelity" (The New Yorker) in this book that presents marriage as an art and a spiritual exercise. Drawing inspiration from both contemporary psychology and ancient spiritual traditions, Catherine Wallace shares her vision of marriage in which the rewards are limitless: properly nurtured, our sexual needs and vulnerabilities turn out not to be liabilities but powerful, generative gifts. At a time when emotional commitments are increasingly fragile and short-lived, Wallace makes a direct and eloquent plea on behalf of sexual fidelity--its blessings, its demands, its moral and emotional necessity.
