The Mediterranean Love Plan by Stephen and Misty Arterburn with BeckyJohnson



Are you looking to spice up your love life? If you are looking for some fun ideas to keep the passion, romance and fun in your marriage The Mediterranean Love Plan could be the book for you.

Stephen and Misty Arterburn share ideas for keeping their relationship interesting. With a subtitle of Seven Secrets to Life-long Passion, The Mediterranean Love Plan reveals ways to enhance aspects of your relationship: through attunement, playfulness, savoring food, enjoying beauty, creativity, health and longevity, and blending the sacred with the sexual.

The Arterburns (along with writer Becky Johnson) share many examples from their own lives, examples from other couples they know and research from countries all over the world, with emphasis on the Mediterranean countries. Stephen and Misty share how these other cultures often include these 7 relationship aspects into their daily lives better than our American culture. The end of each chapter includes a list of practical ways to apply the concepts you just learned to your own relationship. I think this is nice because you can quickly go back and see these ideas and share them with your spouse and put what you learned into practice.

I found The Mediterranean Love Plan to have some good ideas in it to enhance my own marriage. I also thought there were some ideas I already knew but it was good to have a refresher since I don't always implement what I know as much as I could. I think this book could be helpful to newly married couples as well as those who have been married quite awhile who need some new ideas to refresh their love life together. It could be a nice wedding gift, shower gift, or anniversary gift. . .or a gift to yourselves to read on vacation and spice up you lives when you are more relaxed and open to new ideas.

I received this book at no charge from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for the book.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
