Four Fun Marriage Book Giveaways!

I’m so excited to feature two books written by the lovely ladies who partnered with me
on the Revive Our Marriage Series – Sheila and Darlene!

It’s 10 p.m. You want to start snoring. He wants to start snuggling.

Is there really a way out of this impasse? What do you do when after a few years of marriage, sex has become, well, kind of ho hum. And you wonder what all the fuss is about.

In Sheila’s new book, she helps women–whether they’re about to walk down the aisle, or whether the wedding cake has long ago been devoured–get a new outlook on sex. It wasn’t created just for men; it was created for us, too! And it connects us together on three levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Using her sense of humor and research from surveys she conducted of thousands of women, Sheila tells us how we all can experience a great sex life–and a great marriage!

For new brides or veteran wives, The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex will help you and your husband experience intimacy the way God intended. Focusing on how sex unites us physically, emotionally, and spiritually, Sheila’s like a “funny big sister” who tells it like it is.

Sheila is giving away 1 copy of her book! 

Instructions to enter are at the bottom of the page 🙂

***************************************************************************************************

 

The ebook The Good Wife’s Guide is now AVAILABLE in PRINT! 

 

Darlene from Time Warp Wife is giving away

THREE print copies!

In The Good Wife’s Guide New York Times best-selling author Darlene Schacht encourages women to joyfully serve their families. In doing so she offers reasons for achieving a well-managed home backed by scripture and gleaned from experience. As well she provides readers with detailed cleaning and organizing schedules for practical application.

The Good Wife’s Guide encourages women to make faith and family their first priorities from a place of sacrificial love. It reminds women that they were created with a specific purpose in mind, which is that of being a help meet. In supporting our husbands and living in unity we reflect God’s blueprint for marriage.

If you like books on organization and housekeeping, this book is for you!

    4. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to post a comment, haha so I am just going to hit reply on someone else’s comment. I hope that’s okay. I am not married not dating anyone (despite my best attempts…I’m seeking to wait & trust God in this area) but really hope to be married one day so I figure getting these books would be great to put in my ‘hope’ chest if you will. I haven’t really been able to relate to this series on marriage that much but I’m encouraged that when I do get married I’ll have a great group of ladies to garner support from to get it right. So here’s to hoping I win for my future marriage someday! 🙂

  173. I would love a FREE book! Love to read and just recently found and fell in love with Women Living Well. Thanks for allowing us to see your heart through your posts!

    Reply

  180. Hey ladies, I am a keen follower of your blogs! In my culture the idea of being a housewife is mocked and perceived to be laziness and the only option for the illiterate, because of our history! But I must confess that, God has been using your posts to form my world view towards a godly marriage. This has daily shaped my convictions and just reading how fulfilled you are as helpmeets, I took the bold step of resigning from a job that took me away from my young family, which I have come to believe is the GREATEST of all jobs in obedience to Titus 2:4&5. The marriage challenges for the month were fantastic only that my husband has been away on a missionary trip but once he is back I will definitely do them=). Now that am back to the house, Darlene’s book on Organizing & Housekeeping will be of great help to me and my women group of 7. So is Sheila’s book whose blog have just started following. Please let this incredible books reach the soil of AFRICA! Courtney we are eagerly waiting for yours to be out. I have shared on my Facebook account.

  201. I have recently discovered your blog and have thoroughly enjoyed your “Revive Your Marriage” series. It is a great reminder to not let my marriage get stagnant, but to work daily to improve and deepen it. Both of the books look fabulous and very applicable!

    Reply

  202. Wow! Never heard of the first book. I think my husband would be appreciate it if I won. I loved the intro. It sounded funny and interesting. 🙂

    Reply

  205. I have read the testimony of someone who read one of the books and it was so encouraging to hear that there are practical things you can do to enjoy s*x in your marriage. I am single but bin there, done that and now really wanting to do his will. I want to hear all there is to hear and read all there is to read about doing it right. Doing it God’s way. This book will be a great starting point.

    Reply

  212. Both books look like such an encouragement. Thanks for sharing. Call it pride or call it being practical, but I hope I win as I would never add the Good Girl’s Guide to Great S*x to my Christmas list! LOL! 🙂 Have a great day!

  218. I shared it on facebook.I am from Serbia -Europe-Balkan,I would like to get this book.I know that women got a problem in this area but do not talk about it. I’m married 15 years and only now I see it. In our church we have a sister meeting once a month. If I get this book I’d like to read it and share it with the sisters in the church. This is a subject that is not spoken at home and I would love to hear that woman.I believe this will help our marriages.

    Thank you for materials I get from you and your book proverbs 31, I’ve already shared with them.

  238. I have read Sheila’s Book and it is awesome! I couldn’t put it down! I so wanted to bring it on vacation, but you know, didn’t want people ask me “Oh, what are you reading?” So, anyway, it is an awesome book! I would love to win “The Good Wife’s Guide” since I love getting organized and having a schedule. I am like you Courtney in that I thrive on a schedule!

  248. Im just about to get married and were involved in a lot of different class to help give us a great foundation to start from and to develop communication and understanding of each other and where we are coming from to continue to grow with each other and remeber to give 100/100 to our partner. This sounds like a wonderful resource to gain great knowledge from as well. I can’t wait to read it! That you for writing such a book about an often uncomfortable topic for women.

  254. October 16 we celebrate 30 years together. When we met we had both been married before. My husband was not a Christian when we married but is now. We have been through many things together over the years and he is still my best friend and love of my life. I have enjoyed this site and am so glad its available. God Bless. I would love a copy of your book not just for me but I share my books with others when I finish reading them. Thank you

    Reply

  256. I signed up for the emails a week or so ago, but I never read them until today. WOW! Thanks for the great stuff. Today’s was real important as we are older and my husband worries that I hurt too much. I have lupus and lots of pain at times. I need to convince him that I don’t notice the pain once we get involved in *. I never really thought about it until you mentioned this. I just knew I hurt when I went to bed.

Learning how to manage your roles and still find time for yourself I know is important, but there are always time of being torn of all the duties/mask/roles/hats you have to do/wear. I would look forward to winning one of the books to help me any way I can to be more of a godly wife and mom.
