    About this ebook

    Not too heavy, not too light, here is a fun and creative his and hers flip book to help couples express the love that is in their heart.

    This two-cover book is a fun, interactive approach for couples who want to grow closer and create lasting memories together.  Husband and wife take turns reading through topics that give a dose of inspiration, a principle for application, and an activity for expressing just how much they love the other.  The book gets left on the other’s pillow for the next turn of activity. It’s an amusing and refreshing way for reaffirming those wedding vows and for building happy and meaningful moments together.

      Introduction

      For Husbands Only

      (No peeking, ladies.)

      When you look around at your friends’ and family’s marriages and at your own, you realize that marriages are as different as the people in them. But whether a couple is blissfully happy or on the brink of disaster, there’s one thing every marriage has in common: room for improvement. Love must be nurtured if it’s going to thrive and grow—every single day.

      That’s where this book comes in. Because love isn’t really a feeling as much as a practice. And by practicing love, you enable the love-feelings to grow deeper. Along the way, mutual trust and respect are built up; resentments crumble and give way to forgiveness; and a climate of love and appreciation begins to form—all markers of a happy and stable marriage. We hope to give you tools and ideas for loving the love of your life practically and actively, getting you on the road to the marriage you long for.

      As you get started, here are some simple guidelines to follow:

      1. If you’re going through it with your wife, take turns reading and doing the activities in each chapter, using your own creativity to add to or modify an activity any way you’d like. Read the Know It section, take the action step in the Show It section, then give the book back to your wife by following the instructions in the Pass It On section. Now it’s her turn. Don’t pick up the book again until she passes it back to you. And no flipping the book over and peeking at activities she might have planned for you.

      2. If you’re working through this book on your own,don’t lose heart—one person’s efforts in a marriage can go a long, long way, even if they’re not immediately reciprocated.

      3. Go for it. Some of these activities might seem a little goofy, maybe a little high-school. But try to let go of mundane adult seriousness and just go for it! A little goofiness might be just what you need to rekindle that youthful spark you felt when you were dating.

      4. There’s one more guideline for using this book, and it’s critical: no peeking! Okay, that’s been mentioned, but we know it’s tempting. Those fuchsia-colored pages are just a short finger-walk away from your side of the book, and wouldn’t it be nice to know what she is cooking up? But you’ll appreciate your wife’s activities better if you receive them without expectation. Let yourself be surprised, and let your wife surprise you.

      So turn the page to the first chapter and settle down in your chair to read and make plans for showing the one you love that you love her. She won’t know what hit her—and neither will your marriage. Il_9781404187641_INT_0005_001
