This has to be my most-used book... like, ever. Seriously, there are underlines everywhere, folded pages, things circled, little notes, you can definitely tell I've been through it a lot. You've probably heard me recommend it before because I talk about it all the time.

It's called Praying for Your Husband from Head to Toe by Sharon Jaynes, and I absolutely love it. It's a 30-day guide to praying for your husband from head to toe. Literally. Each day focuses on a different area of his life, gives you a Scripture, and includes a prayer to go with it.

I love that it's such a simple guide because it gives you practical steps and the actual prayers to pray. So if you're wanting to pray focused, intentional prayers for your husband but you're not really sure where to start, I seriously can't recommend this book enough.

Attraction goes beyond physical appearance, as qualities like confidence, authenticity, independence, kindness, and a caring attitude can create a stronger connection. A woman’s personality, the way she carries herself, and how she treats others often leave a lasting impression and contribute to a deeper sense of attraction.

I honestly loved this book: 7 Things He'll Never Tell You... But You Need to Know by Dr. Kevin Leman. It's really for wives who just want to understand those quiet, unspoken pressures their husbands are carrying.

What really got me was hearing Chris talk about it. He said there were so many things in the book that he had been feeling for years but couldn't even put into words. Then he read it and thought, "Yep... that's exactly how I feel. I just never knew how to explain it."

I don't know... I think that's such a good reminder that sometimes the person you love doesn't even have the words for what they're carrying. This book helps you recognize those hidden needs, understand what they're going through, and love them well, even when they can't tell you exactly what they need. I just thought that was so powerful. Such a good book.

Honestly, I think intimacy starts way before you ever get to the bedroom. Men and Women are just a little different sometimes. For me, it's the little things that make the biggest difference. Like when my partner can tell I'm overwhelmed and just jumps in to help without me having to ask. Doing the dishes, taking something off my plate, making my day a little easier... that kind of stuff makes me feel so much more connected. And when I feel supported and relaxed, everything else just comes more naturally. So yeah... guys, do the dishes. Trust me, everybody wins.

🔴 ¡NEW EPISODE!

How Often Should We Actually Be Having S*x?

Honestly? We get asked this all the time. And everyone wants a number.
“Once a week? Twice? Three times? What’s the magic answer here, Chris?”

But the truth is, there isn’t a magic number.

We’ve been married long enough to know that life changes. Babies, toddlers, teenagers, stress, work, health stuff, hormones, you name it. Some seasons are easier than others. And sometimes you’re thinking, “S*x sounds amazing,” and other times you’re thinking, “Can I just go to bed?”

What matters more than a number is connection. Do we feel loved? Pursued? Wanted? Are we making intimacy a priority?

And we’ve had to learn that Chris and I don’t always experience intimacy the same way. Sometimes I need the emotional connection first, and Chris is like, “We had a conversation. I feel connected. Let’s go!”

But we’re both after the same thing: feeling close to each other.

So instead of comparing our marriage to some random statistic, we need to actually talk to each other. What feels realistic in this season? What helps you feel loved? How can we stay connected?

Because we’re not trying to hit some magic number. We’re trying to have a healthy, fun, connected marriage, and honestly, that’s way more important than checking a box.

If we could recommend just one marriage book, it would be His Needs, Her Needs. The biggest thing we took away from it is this idea of an emotional bank account.

Every kind word, thoughtful gesture, or moment where we make each other feel loved is like making a deposit. And of course, we’re not perfect, we have bad days, we get annoyed, and sometimes we say things we wish we hadn’t. But when we’ve been filling that account, those moments are so much easier to move through.

It really helped us see that sometimes the problem isn’t one big fight, it’s that we’ve stopped making those little deposits along the way. Such a simple idea, but honestly, one that has stuck with us.

I read Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti a long time ago, but I still think about it because it explains communication so well. The basic idea is that guys tend to focus on one thing at a time, while women are usually thinking about five different things at once.

I remember realizing, "Wait... maybe he's not ignoring me. Maybe I just took him through ten different topics in one sentence." That idea has honestly stuck with me ever since. It's such a simple way to understand why we sometimes completely miss each other in conversations.

If you've ever wondered why it feels like you're speaking different languages, I'd definitely recommend giving it a read.

One of my favorite parts of this whole journey was watching Chris read For Men Only. I had already learned so much from For Women Only, but seeing him have his own "wow... I never knew that" moments was really special.

He kept telling me how shocked he was by the way women think, and honestly, I couldn't help but laugh because that's exactly how I felt reading my book. We both realized we'd been making so many assumptions about each other without even knowing it.

What I love about these books is that they take away so much of the guessing. Instead of thinking, "Why are they like this?" you start thinking, "Oh... now I get it."

If you've ever felt like you and your spouse are speaking two completely different languages, I genuinely think these books are worth reading. They helped us understand each other in a way we never had before, and that changed so much for us.

The funny part? I thought I was just working on myself. I wasn’t trying to change Chris or subtly leave relationship books on his nightstand like, "Oops... hope you see this."

Instead, I focused on understanding him and becoming a better partner. And somehow, that inspired him to pick up For Men Only all on his own.

That was such a wake-up call for me. We spend so much energy wishing our spouse would change, but real change often starts when we stop pointing fingers and start looking at ourselves. Ironically, the moment I stopped trying to change him was the moment our marriage really started changing.

🔴 ¡NEW EPISODE!

I feel like we’ve all gotten marriage advice at some point and just assumed, “Well, I guess that’s what you’re supposed to do.” But some of the advice we hear all the time… might actually be making things harder.

In this video, we are talking through some of those really common marriage “rules” and asking, “Okay, but does this actually work?”

And I’ll tell you, there are a few in here that might make you go, “Wait… you’re saying THAT is bad advice?”

So come hang out with us, because we’re going to challenge a few things, probably ruffle some feathers, and hopefully give you a better way to think about love and marriage.
