Meat and Cheese for a King

I think most guys would agree that a nice piece of exotic meat and some cheese is tough to beat.  It’s the stuff of Kings.  I was amazed by the variety of unique meat delicacies available online.  For a simple spread, check out the Wild Game Pack (Venison, Elk, Buffalo) by Wisconsin Cheeseman.

Book & Product Reviews

It’s that time of the year again when we buy our loved ones a gift in the name of love and St. Valentine.  Although I’d always recommend a romantic love letter as a superb Valentine’s Day gift, I know that many of us also enjoy giving something a bit more commercial as a sign of our love.

The great news is that it is easy to find a unique, memorable or just fun Valentine’s Day present online.  To give you some ideas, I’ve scoured the pages of Amazon and compiled this list of gifts for the special lady in your life.  And don’t worry ladies, I have also compiled a similar list of great online Valentine’s Day gifts for guys.

Perhaps one of these items looks like the perfect gift for her.  If not, I bet these ideas will get your mind working and allow you to find the online gift that your spouse, fiance or girlfriend will really enjoy.

What Matters Now: A Free E-Book from Seth Godin

Written by Dustin on December 14, 2009 - 5 Comments
Book & Product Reviews

If you have not heard of Seth Godin, I really think you should take a look at his materials.  Seth is basically the modern king of outside-the-box thinking and “permission” marketing.  Among his best-selling books are Purple Cow and Tribes.

Along the lines of Dan Miller, Seth is not an author who writes books about marriage.  However, he does offer incredible insight into life in general and our relationships with those we interact with everyday, including our spouses.

I actually just got done reading a compilation of dozens of authors that Seth pulled together called The Big Moo.  I dog-eared several pages of that book because the stories relate so well to issues that I’ve experienced in marriage and want to share here at Engaged Marriage.

The Real Reason for This Post

So, hopefully, you can now understand why I think Seth Godin is so cool.  Well, he just got cooler.

Seth just released a FREE e-book called What Matters Now and he is encouraging those who read it to spread the word and give it to their friends. You are my friends, so I encourage you to download it here or go read Seth’s blog post about it if you prefer.

10 Awesome Gifts for Married Couples

Written by Dustin on December 6, 2009 - 35 Comments
Book & Product Reviews

Gift for a Married CoupleIt’s always fun to make your spouse feel special with a great gift.  The problem is it can be tough to find a gift that is both unique and meaningful.

So, I thought it would be fun to assemble a “Top Ten Gifts” list of sorts.  Of course, this is an Engaged Marriage list, so the gifts here were chosen because they have the ability to enhance your marriage and family life.  Based on my own thoughts, input from my dear wife, a bit of research on Amazon, and some excellent responses that I received on Twitter, I have assembled what I feel is a pretty nice list of ideas.

Rather than be a stand-alone list, I hope these ten ideas get you thinking a bit.  I really want to hear from you in the comments section of this post, as explained below.

10 Awesome Gifts for Married Couples

10. The Love Dare.

This is the book behind the awesome movie Fireproof, which I highly recommend despite Kirk Cameron’s less-than-stellar acting abilities.  If you are not familiar with the concept, the book provides daily activities that you do to show the extent of your love to your spouse.  As shown in the movie, this book grew out of the recovery of a marriage in serious trouble, but its lessons can help any of us who want to take our marriage to the next level.
