Books Quote by Matt Chandler
““In her book For Women Only, Shaunti Feldhahn revealed the results of a professional survey of men that asked this question: With regard to sex, for some men it is sufficient to be sexually gratified whenever they want. For other men it is also important to feel wanted and desired by their wife. How important is it to you to also feel sexually wanted and desired by your wife?5 Feldhahn wrote: This topic earned the highest degree of unanimity of any question: 97 percent of men said “getting enough sex” wasn’t, by itself, enough—they wanted to feel wanted.””
