Review
Doug is fond of leaving notes for his wife in the sink or on the mirror. Jackie, knowing that her husband fancies classic sporting events, hunts for DVDs on the Web and puts them under his pillow as gifts. Just simple tokens of their affection, little steps, Doug says. You get busy, life happens, you just have to remember to make that time for each other. ---Scott Soshnick, Bloomberg News <br /><br />No Ordinary Love: A True Story of Marriage and Basketball is the true-life memoir of the marriage between 14-year NBA star Doug Christie and former fashion model Jackie Christie. The two of them cherish an increasing rarity in today's world, especially among society's elite - a traditional, faithful marriage. Though No Ordinary Love also offers an inside look at life in the NBA, but its crux is a celebration of the joy of cementing an alliance of love, teamwork, and unshakeable loyalty to one another. Presented in the format of a narrative alternating between Doug and Jackie's direct words, and illustrated with black-and-white photographs, No Ordinary Love is a solid testament to the joys and wonders of life and the rewarding satisfaction of building a healthy relationship. ---Midwest Book Review <br /><br />This couple is the ideal people to show others how to have a loving solid and long lasting marriage or relationship i have read several of their books and also had the privledge to read LUV PONS and i must say i absolutely love it! iv'e been married for 8 years and was starting to feel the staggnation in my relationship most couples do at times and after reading luv pons and reviewing their first book no ordinary love i can honestly say my marriage is BACK ON TRACK! i reccomend their books to anyone that wants to have a great marriage or relationship they give good solid advice and are living proof it works! --Marge Davison, Professional Homemaker<br /><br />This very sweet romance aid is out in time for Valentines Day. Written by a sports celebrity couple who have been married for 14 years and together for 18 years, this wonderfully pleasant little romance guide has many practical tips in a question and answer format. Their advice is interspersed with high quality poetry. The truly beneficial feature of this book is the Luv-Pon, a play on words for a love coupon. There are 42 pairs of these in the back of the book with easy to tear out perforated pages so they can be tossed into a jar, can, or bag; shook up; and drawn out by couples. Each Luv-Pon suggests a couple-activity that might be fun to do, such as: play a board game for 2, bubble bath for 2, double date to the movies with friends, or a weekend getaway of your choice. Obviously, couples could add any other activities they like if these don t provide enough ideas. That s the key; these are romantic ideas that can kick start a couple out of the doldrums. Too often, couples may find themselves doing the same-old-same-old. The Luv-Pons provide inspirations to keeping a relationship/marriage fun and interesting. We scored this excellent resource guide and idea generator five hearts.

That original spark never has to die. "Luv-Pons!: A Fun Variety Love & Romance Guide for Couples" is a guide to spicing up one's love life, providing a wide array of thoughts and ideas to keeping that love strong even as the years drag on. Packed in the back are 'luv-pons', coupons to be redeemed for countless things such as salsa dancing, yoga, even sexy movies. "Luv-Pons!" is a top pick for those who want to keep the fun and excitement into an aging relationship.
Luv-Pons by Doug and Jackie Christie is subtitled "A Fun Variety Love and Romance Guide for Couples." Each word actually embraced the content of this book with sincere passion. The "fun" is actually in the back of the book which has 42 different date ideas in the form of coupons or Luv-Pons. There were several recipes, choice wines, helpful websites, games to play, a list of love songs and books to read which showed the variety of choices for couples to use to enhance their love life. Many love and romance stories along with classic poems would cause any couple to get into the mood. Doug and Jackie also had a brief Q and A section to guide couples in answering relationship questions.
When I first saw the cover of Luv-Pons with its eye catching red heart surrounded by a menagerie of other colors I knew this would be a fun book. Right away I felt that Doug and Jackie have a heart for couples to ignite that passion that seems to fade so quickly. This book is very positive and upbeat and encourages the reader to take small steps toward bringing fun romance back into their lives.
