Reviews of 15 Minute Marriage Makeover, Group Workshops & Some Bonus Action
Thank you all SO much for the incredible reaction to my first e-book!
Since releasing 15 Minute Marriage Makeover on Monday, Engaged Marriage has seen record levels of traffic and I’ve received so many emails, tweets and Facebook messages from folks telling me they’re enjoying the book.
Some particularly ambitious couples have already started putting the first several daily “challenges” into action and are seeing the benefits in their relationship.
That’s what it’s all about!
Gotta Love Those Pro-Marriage Friends
I’ve also been honored by the support and enthusiasm received from my fellow marriage and family bloggers. We’ve shared several projects and many struggles together over the past 18 months, and it’s really cool to find such solid support from these relationship experts.
I wanted to highlight a few of the reviews that have been published around the web the past few days about 15 Minute Marriage Makeover. As you’ll see, many of these authors have shared some fantastic additional insights and advice alongside their book reviews.

15 Minute Marriage Makeover – Refresh Your Relationship, Add Sizzle to Your Sex Life & Be Happier in Just Minutes a Day
It’s here! I’m super excited today to share with you my first e-book, which was written specifically with the Engaged Marriage community in mind.
The roots of 15 Minute Marriage Makeover literally go back to the very beginning of this site over 18 months ago when I decided it was time that someone create a resource to help busy couples take your marriages from good to fantastic. Since that time, I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with hundreds of you and learning about your biggest constraints and desires.
And as I realized that Bethany and I shared most of the same struggles and aspirations in our own marriage, it also occurred to me that we’ve had a lot of success and learned some valuable lessons that would help other couples. You can read our story and the specifics behind how you helped shaped 15 Minute Marriage Makeover on the book’s home page.

The Super-Charged Guide to Financial Freedom
If you are looking to make positive progress in your family’s finances, I am excited to let you know about a great resource that was just released by my friend Jeff Nickles over at My Super-Charged Life.
It’s called The Super-Charged Guide to Financial Freedom, and I wholeheartedly endorse it.
Jeff’s site was one of the first blogs I discovered and, aside from also helping me see the value in creating Engaged Marriage, his advice and motivational stories played a key role in our family’s path to becoming debt-free and our ongoing journey to financial freedom.
I consider Jeff both a great “virtual” friend and a trusted resource in the area of practical financial advice from someone who has lived it.
In The Super-Charged Guide to Financial Freedom, Jeff provides actionable, down-to-earth advice to help you with the following:
- Creating a workable plan for changing your financial habits.
- Effectively communicating your financial plan to your spouse.
- Getting your spouse involved in the decision-making process.
- How to overcome resistance to living on a budget.
- Developing a flexible budget that works in the real-world.
- Solutions to common budgeting problems.
- Setting goals that will help you climb your way to financial freedom.
10 Life-Changing Online Christmas Gifts for Married Couples
Based on the popularity of last year’s 10 Awesome Gifts for Married Couples (newly updated), I knew I needed to follow-up with another super-useful and fun gift list for Christmas 2010. I also wanted to provide you with some unique ideas that (mostly) won’t be found just browsing around on Amazon.
So, I decided to put together a list of the top online resources for busy married couples. Whether you are shopping for your spouse or another married couple, I’m sure you’ll find something on this list that will be well-received as a meaningful gift that will help to improve the recipient’s life!
While you might not immediately think of a digital product as a great Christmas gift (after all you can’t gift wrap most of these suggestions), keep in mind that more and more people are consuming their information electronically. Plus, these e-books and other online goodness are delivered instantly, so they’re perfect for an awesome last-minute gift!
Without further ado, here are my Top 10 picks for 2010:

Blow Up My Marriage !?!
I get emails from readers all the time and, in general, I really enjoy it. I honestly believe that the Engaged Marriage community is one of the best around, and you always have kind words, constructive feedback and excellent ideas and guest posts to share.
However, from time-to-time, I get an email from a reader who needs more help than I can offer. They may have experienced deeply broken trust, a serious breakdown in communication or what seems like a loss of love. This apparent loss of love could be one-sided or a mutual feeling, but it usually comes in the form of “I still love you but I don’t think I’m in love with you anymore” or perhaps “I just don’t feel attracted to you in a sexual way anymore” or something similar.
When faced with these types of emails, I’m usually full of mixed emotions. I take them quite personally and often discuss the situation presented with Bethany (my wife). I can share my personal thoughts and opinions, but I am always careful to state up-front that I am not a professional counselor and issues running this deep in a marriage are beyond my capabilities to handle responsibly.
