Three Ways to Make Love a Way of life

Love should be something we focus on 365 days of the year. Not just a day in February. That’s why I’m so thrilled to take part in this blog tour and introduce you to several books to help you love all year long! And if you keep reading to the end, you have a chance to win one of these books!

Love as a Way of Life by best selling author, Dr. Gary Chapman, “shows readers how to cultivate a new lifestyle built around the seven characteristics of authentic love. Now in a companion devotional, he provides ninety inspirational readings to help Christians consistently live out the characteristics of love in every relationship.

Each devotional entry showcases biblical truths that guide a life of love, offering fresh insight and practical guidance in how to make love a lasting habit. Over the course of three months, readers will learn to follow God’s lead as they practice the characteristics of a loving person: kindness, patience, forgiveness, courtesy, humility, generosity, and honesty.”

Not only do I think this would make a great study for couples, but for families and homeschools as well!

How many times do you look at a couple and say “They’ve got a great marriage. Wish mine ours was like that?”

For me, it’s easy to put other marriages up on pedestals, that’s why I’m looking forward to reading the book I Do Again by Cheryl and Jeff Scruggs which “details the fascinating real-life story of a couple whose relationship seemed shattered beyond all hope until a spiritual awakening led them to reconsider their definitions of “happily ever after.”

This is what people are saying:

With their professional success and adorable twin daughters, Jeff and Cheryl Scruggs looked like the perfect couple. But their polished facade concealed a widening chasm between two people unable to connect on an intimate, soul-deep level. After years of frustration, Cheryl’s desire for emotional fulfillment led to an affair and, finally, divorce. Yet, incredibly, seven years later, Jeff and Cheryl once again stood at the altar, promising to “love, honor, and cherish” one another. A new and vibrant love had risen out of the ashes of this family’s pain.

I Do Again is riveting account of the power of prayer and redemption, this remarkable book offers renewed hope for even the most troubled marriages—and reveals why the rewards of restoration are well worth the wait.

For Couples Only Box Set by Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn. This is the book I’m most excited about because it’s the one that got my husband reading again. And after 17 years of marriage, it’s helping to us see each other and our marriage in a different light!

“Each volume is based on input from more than a thousand members of the opposite sex—including an unprecedented nationwide survey and hundreds of personal interviews. This innovative approach yields candid and surprising answers about everything you don’t “get” about your significant other—even what that person deeply wishes you knew. It also produces simple but groundbreaking awareness of how you can best love and support the one who is most important to you.

So whether you are newly dating or have been married fifty years, get ready to know each other in a whole new way. The adventure is just beginning!”
