Book Excerpt:
"Lynn and Jerome Watson have been together since meeting in the halls of Booker T. Washington High School in 1993. Twenty-five years, a house, business, and three children later, they are on the heels of their 18th wedding anniversary and Lynn's 40th birthday.
Her only request was a night of fun at home with her husband and maybe a few toys.Lynn thinks their marriage bed is suffering and wants to spice it up. Jerome, on the other hand, thinks Lynn is overreacting. His thoughts, if it ain't broke, don't break it trying to fix it. Then something happens that shakes up the Watson household, revealing secrets, but Jerome's biggest secret is that his lips are sealed.The Bible says in Hebrews 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." But what happens when life starts throwing daggers, lies, turns, and twists?"

Review:
"The Marriage Bed" by Lakisha Johnson
My Perception:
The author gives the reader another good read...'The Marriage Bed.' One would think Jerome would have been more brilliant than he was in having a wife like Lynn and knowing she would not put up with his mess after they had been together for over twenty-five years. Especially when Lynn comes to him and lets him know that something is wrong in their marriage. And for Jerome to do this with a friend of theirs from church. Jerome had a problem, and he really needed some professional help. As we can see from the read, he continued this mess and was supposedly trying to get his wife back. Pick up this good read to see what I am talking about. I wasn't surprised with the ending!
I agreed wholeheartedly with what the "Bible says in Hebrews 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." However, when your life starts throwing all the mess in from 'daggers, lies, twists, murder, and turns all over the place,' as it continues, it may be time to separate, and divorce is evident.
