Read what others are saying about LOVE YOUR HUSBAND/ LOVE YOURSELF:

Possibly the MOST important book a woman could read!
I was hesitant to purchase this book, “I have so many already” I thought, but through God’s Providence He led me to purchase it. Oh how I wish I could have understood some of this year’s ago! I have 9 daughters–and they will all receive one! Jennifer has a way with words that just really got down in my heart. It is obvious that she is not just writing about the subject, she has lived it–which makes it so believable, and embraceable. God’s ways are not our ways and I think most women have it so totally wrong when it comes to their husbands, especially in the intimacy and respect areas. Some of the things Jennifer wrote about were things that I guess I knew deep down, how IMPORTANT intimacy is…but yet I’ve still allowed it to fall by the wayside so many times. I have 11 children and reading that she has 12-and has a “no excuses” attitude motivated me to seek the higher ground of becoming who God desires I be for my husbands sake. THIS BOOK IS WORTH MUCH MORE than $14.95!! It could save a lot of marriages–how much is that worth?
Mom of 11 in Texas on AboveRubies.com

Standing firm in spite of life’s trials
Dear Jennifer, Thank You!! Thank you for your honesty, transparency, humor, encouragement and wisdom. This is a message openly opposed by our culture and sadly sidestepped by the Church… The institution of marriage in America is in crisis and Christians are fairing no better than the rest of the world. God has not overlooked that marriage is hard work, He hasn’t failed to notice that children and households require lots of tending. He didn’t create sex to extend a wife’s “to do” list but to protect and prepare couples so that they will stand firm in spite of life’s trials and responsibilities. Sadly, some of our friends’ marriages have not prevailed. Not one of those couples would say today, “Well, our physical intimacy was great…it was just everything else.” In every case, physical intimacy was one of their biggest (if not primary) issues. It cannot be ignored or reasoned away. In our culture and even in the church, so much emphasis is placed on the romance of courtship and marriage. We spend countless hours and dollars preparing for weddings and completely skip preparing our children for marriages! I barely got the message that physical intimacy was part of being a wife…..no one EVER made me feel like it was my PRIVILEGE! Until now. Thank You!
Amber C. on Amazon.com

Benefits backed by science
Jennifer, I’ve got to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your book…. Thanks for all of your input into the science and benefits of a good marriage and how to keep it that way!!!”
Torri in Tyler, TX

Get this book for every bride-to-be on your list!!!
I have been married for 25 years and wish I had this book much sooner. To think I could have saved many years of frustration in my marriage as I would have understood my role as a wife and as an encourager towards my husband better. I praise God for helping me to know Him better through this book and what I am called to as a wife. Get ready to have your socks knocked off and get ready to be blessed beyond your wildest dreams. Your marriage will soar to new heights!
Sue at AboveRubies.com

This book is the talk your Mom never had the nerve to have with you
In most Christian circles sex is not really talked about. If you want to know why it is important to have this time with your husband then this book is perfect for you. The book is divided into two sections, one is about loving him physically and the other is about loving him unconditionally. The first section has different chapters that describe the benefits of having sex with your husband. The second section, also divided into multiple chapters, is more about ways to show you love him other then the act of sex.
Irene’s Christian Reviews on Amazon.com

Not just for newlyweds
This book may be geared to wives in their 20′s or 30′s, but in my “elder years”, it has been a blessing and a great review of what makes marriage work. The truth is the truth. Some will not be able to accept it, but Mrs. Flanders speaks only the truth from the biblical standpoint. As an older reader, my husband and I have had alot of fun conversation that we haven’t had in a long time, and it has sparked new respect for ourselves as a couple. You are never too old to learn. Don’t miss this one !!!!”
“Blessed Marriage” on Amazon.com

Best advice I’ve ever been given
This book is hands down the best all around and newly wed marriage advice on how to he happy and married, of any I have ever read and that was very many books! Jennifer does very well at pointing out the intricate design of a very wise creator. This is a must read for all marriages that want true happiness. True happiness is found in giving joy and grace to your very best friend. Not always easy, not always an inner urge, but always a blessing!
Lewis in Kinzers, PA

Ordering multiple copies
I ordered two of your books from Amazon on Monday, picked them up from the post office yesterday morning and have already finished the first section! I couldn’t wait to start reading it! Thanks for your courage to share this topic and your family with us. I will order several more…. I want to give them to several young ladies getting married.
Valorie in Mesquite, TX

I’m finally seeing clearly!
I have started reading your book. I love it. I feel like, I was blind, but now I see and I wish I’d have seen it years ago…. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this book. I’m reading, praying, crying and trying not to stress [my husband] out or myself for that matter.
Debbie in Collierville, TN

Highly recommended
I highly recommend it for all new brides, new mothers, and wanna be brides again!
Brenda in Tyler, Texas

Prescription for a beautiful marriage
I was privileged to get a copy ‘hot off the presses’ and am already thoroughly enjoying poring over each chapter. I want to be one of the first to give Jennifer’s book a plug: YOU LADIES NEED TO GET A COPY AND READ IT. YOUR HUSBAND WILL THANK YOU (in more ways than one!) AND YOU WILL EXPERIENCE SWEET JOYS IN YOUR MARRIAGE. Thanks for your boldness, Jennifer, to say what needed to be said.”

    It’s funny how the Lord answers prayers at times. I had done and said some thing to my husband that I knew wasn’t right and I did say I was sorry but I had crushed his spirit and for 2 days he was cold to me. I know I deserved it but my heart cried out to God during those days and I was praying that the Lord would show me what he expected of me as a wife, and how to be a godly wife for my husband. I have read a few book on marriage and I would change for 2 weeks and things seem to be going well,and then I would slip into my old ways again. We have been Married for 13 years and 3 children. My husband would always say to me” I don’t want a good marriage, like everyone else,I want a great one”. At the time that just seem like a lot to ask for. I thought our Marriage was pretty good. Well we made up and 3 days later a older lady I knew came up from Arizona to see her children which were close friends of ours. I was throwing on a baby shower for her daughter-in -law and when she arrived she handed me a gift. Well it was your book that she gave me. I didn’t pick it up for a few days but when I started to read it God really showed me what I was doing to my marriage and how I had not been obeying him. I didn’t know I was sinning. I repented and right away I started to change my attitude towards my husband and not making my comments. I started to play with him and never turned him down for sex . That week he told me how much he felt loved and for supporting him with a new business opportunity that could be very big for him. God used some one all the way from Arizona,with your book to answer my prayers. I just wish I had read this book before I got married ,but I have a daughter myself and now I can show her how to please her Lord and her husband in her marriage. Thank you!

Every spring, I pull out my little Easter journal, Every spring, I pull out my little Easter journal, read through it again, and complete a few more pages.  Packed with scripture, word studies, writing prompts, and gorgeous vintage artwork to color, it’s a great way to focus my heart and mind on the unfathomable love and unmerited grace that compelled Jesus to conquer sin, death, and the grave on behalf of all who put their trust in Him (including ME🙋‍♀️)!  If you enjoy coloring, journaling, and/or reflecting on Christ’s love, you can find BECAUSE HE LIVES — along with all of my other devotional journals — on Amazon.

I love leaving all our windows open to let the lig I love leaving all our windows open to let the light shine through, but the glare off this white wall blinds me whenever I’m washing dishes at our kitchen sink. So I decided to paint a mural to help absorb some of the reflected light!  Also, I figured it would be easier to keep painted shrubs and flowers alive than the real thing since we don’t have a sprinkler system and I sometimes forget to water the real stuff until it is limp and wilted — or worse!  #flandersfamilyhome #wallart #outdoorproject
I finished listening to David Epstein’s RANGE ye I finished listening to David Epstein’s RANGE yesterday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  What an inspiring book! I told my husband, who’d read it years before, that this book really made me grateful we had chosen to homeschool.  “That’s exactly what I thought when I finished reading it!” he responded.  It’s not that one CAN’T learn to think broadly in a traditional classroom — Doug and I both attended public schools as children, earned specialized degrees in college and graduate/medical school, yet still managed to retain a healthy curiosity about a wide range of topics.  It is just that our modern educational system favors benchmarked learning and early specialization, often at the expense of making interdisciplinary connections or pursuing tangential topics.  Each teacher piles on homework in a given subject, seldom pausing to point out how the material being presented in one course relates to anything the student is learning in other classes.  Modern classrooms stress outcomes, grades, results. They have little time or patience for the kind of “mental meandering” and experimentation that is vital to innovation.  Happily for us, that hasn’t been the case with homeschooling. We teach our kids the basics, expose them to a broad range of books, people, places, and ideas, let them delve deeply into investigating topics or developing skills that interest them, and discuss with genuine enthusiasm and appreciation all the things each of us are learning — collectively and individually — and how it all fits into the framework of our Christian worldview.  As parents, I don’t think Doug and I deliberately set out to create that kind of environment for our kids when we first started teaching them at home, but by God’s grace, that is what our homeschooling experiment evolved into. And books like Range make me extra thankful that is the case. ❤️  #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #homeschooling #lifestyleoflearning #recommendedreading

Now (at last!) it’s officially available for preorder. I ordered mine yesterday and can hardly wait to read the print copy, complete with gorgeous artwork from @paintandprose and the unique perspective Dad shares the end of each chapter!  I’m overjoyed to think how incredibly blessed families across the globe are going to be when they read the timely, encouraging, biblically-grounded message presented in this beautifully written book. ❤️  #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #hardisnotthesamethingasbad
On this date in 1987, my husband officially asked On this date in 1987, my husband officially asked me to marry him before slipping onto my finger an antique diamond ring his grandmother had taken off her own hand two days earlier and hand sized to fit mine.  He proposed on bended knee in the living room of his grandparents’ house in Corpus Christi, with Nanny and Poppie looking on, offering constructive criticism, and making him back up and re-do all the parts that THEY found unsatisfactory the first time. 😂😂🤣  The truth is, Doug and I had already been planning our wedding — and, even more importantly, discussing our hopes, dreams, and expectations for the life we’d share together after the ceremony — for months before his grandparents insisted he formalize things with an official proposal of marriage and a gorgeous ring I’ve worn proudly ever since. 💍  Either way — with or without a ring or a formal proposal — my answer to the question was a resounding “YES!” Agreeing to marry Doug remains one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. ❤️❤️❤️  #officiallyengaged #happilyeverafter

One thing the kids and I enjoy doing on vacation i One thing the kids and I enjoy doing on vacation is working puzzles. We start a 1000-piece jigsaw as soon as we arrive at our destination and race the clock to finish before time to leave.  Abby especially enjoys puzzles and is usually the one pushing for us to continue this tradition, although she abandoned me most of our evenings this trip to play pool with her brother.  Gabriel is an early riser though and made up for it by working on the puzzle with me in the mornings.  Dad and Nana aren’t huge fans of jigsaws, but we saved the last two pieces for them to put in, so they could say they helped, too. 😂
