Download or read book Make Love Whenever Possible When Married with Children written by Leslie Kaplan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children" is playful and poignant with spirited vignettes like "Seduce your spouse with humor," "Be a flasher," and "Experience the post-vasectomy sexual renaissance." Leslie Mancillas and Peg Melnik teamed up to write the book based on the following prescription program for staying sane within the madness of family life: 1. Be an opportunist. Make love whenever possible. 2. Date your spouse. Don't put off dating for two decades until your kids are conveniently in college. 3. Tend to your spouse. Even adults need to be nurtured. 4. Plan for chaos. 5. Become a top-flight negotiator. Marriage is one long, unwieldy negotiation. Keep closing the deal. 6. Keep close to your spirit. Find ways to nurture yourself. The co-authors firmly believe couples are living their most challenging years when they have children under their roof. Parents inhabit a different world than do those without children, one ruled by the needs of small people. The sheer responsibility that comes with parenthood can, over time, complicate even the healthiest marriage. While the divorce rate in America is at an astonishing 62 percent, staying happily married with children is not an insurmountable challenge as long as you realize it requires a kind of vigilance. It requires perspective, insight and, most importantly, the energy to keep a strong connection with your spouse. The authors use wisdom and wit to detail valuable tips drawn from their own experiences both positive and negative. The book is broken into six chapters, with a series of vignettes approximately one to three pages in length. Some of the more visual scenes from the book include playing hooky with your spouse, renewing marriage vows at Notre Dame and absent-mindedly driving to work with a plateful of cookies flying off the roof of the car, littering the road. Mancillas and Melnik's 100-page survival guide will no doubt be a compelling read, the best-selling bible for the married-with-kids crowd.

Payback with a difference. I’d stay in Ballyholme, Northern Ireland, to decide whether to forgive my cheating husband, Ryan. Ciara, my new best friend, would stay in our London home, free of charge, until I made up my mind. The ruse certainly had its plus points: Ciara’s unexpected appearance would freak Ryan out, and my disappearance should make him regret his roving eye. But now I learn Ciara has evidence ... evidence that my husband has committed murder. And she’s no longer answering my texts and calls. Is it some sort of blackmail plot? More worrying, if Ryan is indeed a killer, could he strike again? - ‘This is one hell of a twisted book...

Sunday after Sunday, they enter the church adorned in their signature robes, representing an appearance of their holiness with God. What a magnificent sight to behold, but one must also remember the saying "all that glitters isn't gold." While they represent the gifts of righteousness robed in the pulpit, they also possess the unrobed worldly characteristics of man. This pulpit pack found that concealing their actions outside the church could and would always require expertise in keeping their secrets from everyone, other than those playing the same games themselves. Keeping score in the eyes of fellas only added intrigue and excitement of the game until one of them unexpectantly wanted to change the game and the rules. Jealousy, causing backstabbing, began to show up as the fellas attempted to keep their upmost secrets that would destroy not just their churches but also their marriages. While the battle to maintain secrecy continues, someone desiring to settle a personal score executes a plan, which not only settles her score but also exposes their many years of secrets of lying, cheating, stealing, and sexual immorality of all sitting within the pulpit.
