This giveaway is for two books that can help your relationships, especially your marriage.
The Man Whisperer by Rick Johnson:
What woman hasn't taken a look at her man and decided he could use some improvement? There are some things we can change and some things we can't. Rick Johnson helps women identify the strengths in their men and the things that hold them back. He shows women how they can use their considerable influence in positive ways--without nagging or laying on the guilt trips. A man whisperer is a woman who can use her subtle powers of persuasion to help her man become his very best. With humor and plainspoken common sense, Johnson helps women deal creatively with those annoying little habits while focusing on building his strong points. He also shows women why some tactics just don't work. Any woman who wants her marriage to be stronger will benefit from this enlightening book.

Great Blog. I don't usually read blogs, but yours is great. As far as the best tip for relationships is an old one but very important. it is that you never go to bed angry, always work through the differences before falling asleep. Thank You so much,

My favorite piece of advice I was given at a bridal shower was to live each day as if it were your last together. It was given by a widow and has stuck with me.
Whoops. I'm sorry. I forgot to put my email address in the text of the comment. :)

It is very visible on my blog, but since you specifically said in the text of the comment, here it is! :)
Say "I love you" often. Always kiss each other hello and good-bye. Go on dates, even if those "dates" are a dvd and dinner after the kids are in bed.
Terrific giveaway. Thanks!
Oh these would be wonderful!
My tip is dont go to bed mad..if you do..you're just going to wake up angry again!
Always treat each other with respect. My husband and I have been doing this for 26 years now.
Great giveaway! I am always searching for good books to read and never know where to start!

One tip is to Bite Your Tongue. Pause and think before you react to your spouse or anyone, really. So you don't say anything in anger or frustration that you'll regret.

Communication is the key. This why there are so many failed relationships and marriages today, because of the lack of communication. You just gotta open up. :)

Never give up on the same day! lanieintx at comcast dot net
Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow. My tip would be to not open your mouth until you've thought about what you're going to say. Don't even act like you were going to say something, and then stop... It always makes the other person wonder... I am still working on this one!

These books look great!
NEVER go to bed angry. Ever. No matter what.

That second title cracks me up! My best tip is let the Lord be the most important person in each of your lives.

I think it is important to let your significant other know how much you admire them-give lots of compliments!

plan a date night where you don't talk about work or the kids!

Don't expect your spouse to be a mind reader and then get mad when he doesn't know what you're thinking. If something is on your mind, share.
Great giveaway! I'm already a subscriber to your blog.

My best advice is to communicate-every day! Monica monk5@charter.net
Laugh a lot in your marriage...very important!!

We've had a hard few years, I am looking for exactly what that whisperer book is offering. Tip? "This too shall pass"..:) We try to have alone time and time to laugh, it eases the hard stuff.
These books look good.

Keep date nights going, even after marriage, after kids. :-) Thanks!

hmmm, take time to cuddle, even in front of kids :) they need to know mommy and daddy love each other too
My best advice: never take anything for granted. You may think your husband understands what you are talking about, in reality he's out in left field!
jgbeads AT gmail DOT com
the best advice I was ever given was "it doesn't matter what HE does, you can only control how YOU react"
turns out not everything in the universe was his fault ... who knew?
My best tip is to listen to other...Not just in passing but sit down together and talk. semtaylor@yahoo.com
My tip: try to make time just for the 2 of you. When the kids are gone, he's going to be the only one left.
My best tip is to notice the little things in the everyday that your husband does for you, and let him know that you noticed and appreciatted it.
Listen to each other!
Thank you for the great giveaway!

I could really use this in my house!
The best piece of advice that I have learned is to watch what u say when in an aegument. Don't say things like calling someone a bad name, attacking their past or choices they have made. Those are horrible things to say!

I know it is a popular one, but don't go to bed angry, and listen to each other! I would love to win! Thanks for the giveaway!
If you pray together, it's very hard to hold a grudge & let a wedge come between you. It's hard to pray with someone you are mad at. You don't stay mad long!

Best advice....just keep on keeping on!

Never leave each other having issued harsh words as the last statement. Going to bed angry doesn't bother me because I sleep fine and usually wake up with a better perspective on things anyhow but I never want us to leave the same physical location having just said something mean or hurtful. One never knows if it's the last time you'll be together. Resolve it or at least say I love you before leaving.

I think "don't live parallel lives" is key. The longer you are married I think it gets easier to just "do your own thing" without involving your spouse.

This is the only tip I can give: never build up a wall between you and the other person (otherwise problems will grow bigger and bigger).
avalonne83 [at] yahoo [dot] it
My tip is to choose you battles wisely.....ask your self before you make that comment, is this something you really want to fight over?
Thanks and the books look awesome!

Great books. One of the best things we've done in our marriage is every day when he gets home, we race to see who can sit on our bed first. Then we snuggle and talk about her day before the kids invade. It's a great way to connect for a few minutes every day plus help him transition to home life. :)
adashofsassitude(at)gmail.com
My tip is to compromise! My husband and I both sometimes enjoy doing different things, and don't always agree, but we compromise and those little differences don't mean much. Thanks for the giveaway!

P.S. I’m giving away a subscription to Parents Magazine on my blog, so if you or someone you know might be interested, stop on by! :)
I always tell people to marry their best friend. It definitely has worked for me!
My tip is to always say I Love You before you do something apart from your spouse.
That Man Whisperer sounds like a great book.
Never have the same fight twice. Once it is over and done with do not bring it up again. If you feel like you want to, you did not finish the conflict the first time.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
I think laughter is an important part of any relationship. Being able to share a good chuckle strengthens a bond, I think :-)
greenyak [at] yahoo [dot] com
Ohhhh I would SO love these books!
My tip: Never start a serious conversation after 10pm, when you're brain and bodies are tired it's easier to let a conversation turn into a fight. Just wait until the next day if at all possible.
camommy2kj@aol.com
These books are great! My advice.... never leave without saying I love you!
daniwilliams30 At gmail DOT com
My best advice? Never get defensive when you are trying to work out issues with your spouse, because it does nothing but hinder communication. Be willing to admit that you're not perfect either, and you'll go a lot further.
Thank you for doing this!
Say "I love you" everyday and mean it...you never know when it will be your last chance. Jhoklittle@yaho.com
I Love your blog. I subscribed.
My tip: Something that has really helped our marriage was going to see `Fireproof` together. God used it to really change our thoughts on things.
We are both more willing & ready to forgive the other & to help each other be who God made them to be.
Please enter me in the giveaway.
Thanks,

DH and I always have a weekly date. This keeps us focused on one another in a fun way no matter what else is going on.
I'd love to read these books!!!

Would LOVE to read these. Hum...relationship tip. We have been reading books to grow in our faith together. It really helps to open discussion between us and makes us hang out together after kiddos go to bed instead of staring at the TV all night! Has been great for our marriage. And more recent I've learned it is best to let go of the little things that bug me and just bless him as much as I can. We are both so much happier now! Thanks for the give a way!
A tip? Hmmm. I guess that my tip is don't expect it to be easy. It's not, its something you have to work at every day.
Simple - be patient. Thanks for the giveaway!
