Book description
This is the one book on sexual life that has received the unqualified approval of hte medical profession and the lay public alike.

1. IT IS AUTHORITATIVE
De. Van de Velde was an internationally famous Dutch gynecologist (former head of the Gynecological Clinic at Harrlem).

2. IT IS EXPLICIT
It is simple, detailed and direct, and uses language that everyone can understand. It contains many charts and diagrams

3. IT IS COMPLETE
It covers every aspect of normal marital relationships. It contains information that has hitherto been hidden away in scattered articles in many languages. Now revised by Dr. Margaret Smyth, a British physician and authority on married life, IDEAL MARRIAGE includes material on the latest scientific discoveries and developments. It is a book that will help any intelligent person to find perfect adjustment in his or her sexual relations.

"This is the book on ht physical problems of marriage we have all been waiting for. It had to be written, and written in exactly this way - soberly, scientifically, completely, without a scintilla of eroticism, and yet with a sustained note of high idealism."
~ Dr. J Johnston Abraham, of London
