Make Love Whenecer Possible When Married with Children,
By Sally Lee "Sally" (Sacramento CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children (Paperback)
I wish my mother had told me how having children could devastate my relationship with my husband. All my female friends and my mom just said "Oh those first years are hard" - but no one told me what the "hard" meant. What is great about this book is it gave me an "ah ha" moment where I realized what my mother and friends didn't tell me. They didn't tell me that it isn't just hard dealing with a newborn, but it is hard on my relationship because my love life went away with my husband. My "ah ha" moment was that I had put my love relationship aside and focused all my attention on my baby. This book has some great practical and good advice that helped me bring more balance to my life and helped bring back more love and sex into my relationship with my husband. I needed the love and he needed the sex to feel closer. Everything got easier when we felt closer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is THINKING about having kids because no one tells you what is really going to happen to your marriage and what you can do to plan for the chaos of raising children.

Funny, informative and easy to read, Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children is a great gift for new parents or anyone you know with kids. One of the best kept secrets is how children disrupt your relationship with your spouse. This little book gives you plenty of tips and "how to" advise to help bring the intimacy back into your life's. And a great perk...the photographs by Christophe Genty are incredibly gorgeous. WOW! Everyone I have given this book to, loves it.

Make Love Whever Possible When Married With Children,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children (Paperback)
This book teaches that you don't have to put a "hold" on a sweet relationship with your spouse. It's a welcome guide for couples with children. During the years when kids are young, it's hard to function. Being a "good parent" for twenty-four seven is exhausting. For most, all the energy goes towards the kids; parents feel that their needs don't matter. This witty, outside-the-box book gives creative ways for you and your spouse to stay close and to keep a sense of fun in your relationship.

This review is from: Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children (Paperback)
I wish this book was available when my kids were younger! The authors share many fun, funny and exciting ways to make time for intimacy when you have kids. They discuss the importance of keeping your relationship romantic, despite the exhaustion, constant interruptions, and the everyday challenges of life while trying to manage a family! I recall the difficulty finding the time, place and even the energy to make love when my kids were young, and found this book to be an excellent resource for those in that very situation. I highly recommend it for anyone who is or knows of others going through this important time in life! It's a great shower gift for those expecting, or those with growing families!

Substitute "married with a business" for "married with children",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children (Paperback)
My husband and I started our business together 8 years ago and it certainly feels like we have an 8-year old in the house. This book has fantastic tips that are helpful for couples in any circumstance where the focus of the relationship starts to shift outward. Basically, this book is full of advice for how to stay connected to your partner. And, it's easy to read because the advice comes in the forms of anecdotes that demonstrate results. It's fun and practical!

It's The Split In The Middle Of Our Brain,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children (Paperback)
Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children is a great ride of a read that gives so much important information while keeping the humor on high. In many ways it is the essential reader's guide for the married two who started it all, creating a family and spending a lifetime together. All the trappings and slippery slopes that send spouses to therapy are given a fresh context filled with gifts. I highly recommend "Make Love...for spouses present and future.

A pleasant inter-generational read,

This review is from: Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children (Paperback)
A pleasant inter-generational and universal read which could be of interest to new couples of any age : parents but also grand-parents, no longer young and not too old, whose intimacy "still active" must also be preserved when grandchildren are present.
For people are over 50 : to be read immediately ! Bravo for the beautiful illustrations. Françoise

Make Love should be on every parent's bedside table,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children (Paperback)
This book was written as the REAL guide to love after kids. From the description of A to Z personalities (I'm a chaotic Z while my partner is a meticulous A), to remembering that love is a verb, to stolen kisses, to spontaneous flashing... This is a book to remind us to take back that love that we had with our partner before we had children and claim it once again as the rule. The biggest part for me was when the ladies reminded us that if we are putting our kids first and ignoring our parters, we are missing the point of our marriage. This book could save many relationships that are failing as the stress and joys from kids take the forefront. And I loved that it was an easy and humorous read as I constantly smiled and thought to myself, "Hey, I can relate to that!"
