Book Review and Giveaway: The Flirtation Experiment by Lisa Jacobson and Phylicia Masonheimer

My husband and I have been blissfully married for over 30 years. We still have fun flirting with each other; we still feel like newlyweds in some ways (totally crazy in love with each other). I enjoyed reading The Flirtation Experiment and realized that I have already been implementing these same or similar ideas/tips in my marriage. The Flirtation Experiment is written by two Christian women, Lisa Jacobson and Phylicia Masonheimer. The former has been married for 27 years and the latter has been married for five years. The authors share from their own personal experiences of doing the flirtation experiment. The book lists thirty ways of flirting with your husband. Some chapters also include the reactions from the authors' husbands. I appreciate the authors' authenticity and vulnerability. They are not shy away from including awkwardness, insecurities, struggles, and unexpected challenges. Overall, the authors, their husbands, and their marriages benefit from their Flirtation Experiment, so they want to invite others to try the experiment and be more intentional in pursuing their husbands. If you are looking for creative ways to foster closeness and connection, playfulness and passion, affection and affirmation, romance and respect in your marriage, this is a wonderful resource for you. I highly recommend this insightful and practical book that can help make your marriage deeper, richer, and sweeter.

  1. Looks like a fun book! I'd love to read it sometime!

    I have two tips to share!

    #1 Get individual toothpaste tubes. Because nobody needs the drama about what the right way to squeeze the tube is.

    #2 Don't let a mild headache hold you back from some special couple time. It can often be just the stress/tension relief needed!

  2. Experimenting in the bedroom can be scary but is often worth it to bring new pleasure to your spouse and to deepen intimacy. If a risk is taken and you are not both fans, you can always laugh it off later with a "well, at least we tried something new!" approach.

    Along the newness line, we try not to eat out at just the same old spots we fall in love with, because dating should be exciting and it's fun to try new stuff and also support businesses together that we can then recommend to our friends.

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study.  I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
