My Secret Project is Finally Here! And Just In Time For Christmas!

Last updated on: December 18, 2018 at 10:37 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

I’ve been working on a special project and it’s finally here—just in time for Christmas, or those New Year’s Resolutions! Introducing the Find Rest Journal! This artistic journal is so beautiful that I think I literally squealed when I first saw it. (Embarrassing, I know!) It has truly lie-flat pages for easy writing, filled with design, inspiring scripture and quotes. It’s a wonderful gift for yourself, your sister, the women in your Bible Study… It can be either a companion... Read more

Men, Improve Your Love Life by Taking Care of Yourself

Last updated on: December 13, 2018 at 4:03 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

Guys, is your wife constantly encouraging—or even nagging—you to take better care of yourself? I recently heard from a man who thought he was doing a decent job in that area. He—like you, perhaps—works out sometimes and tries to eat healthy when he can, although he does enjoy junk food and (literally!) gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar a bit too often. Lately, he’s noticed that his wife is less receptive to his advances and doesn’t seem... Read more

Improve Your Sex Life by Accommodating Your Wife’s Needs

Last updated on: December 5, 2018 at 9:06 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

After hearing yet another variation on the “not tonight, dear, I have a headache,” Dan turned over and tried to go to sleep. Disappointed and frustrated, he wondered why he always had to be the one to initiate sex, and when he did, his wife was frequently less than enthusiastic or altogether uninterested. Even though the question “Will we have sex tonight?” crossed his mind just about every day, when he made romantic advances his wife often seemed caught by... Read more

After You’re Married, Keep Dating Your Wife (It is Much Easier Than You Think)

Last updated on: November 30, 2018 at 11:49 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

Guys, in Part 1 we revealed that your wife doesn’t feel forever loved and happy just because you declared your forever love and married her. It reminds me of that groaner of a joke about the man whose wife complained that he rarely said ‘I love you.’ His response: “Why do I need to tell you that I love you? I told you when we got married; if anything changes, I’ll let you know!” Although that joke gets well-deserved eye... Read more

Marriage Itself Doesn’t Make Your Wife Happy

Last updated on: November 30, 2018 at 11:59 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

Guys, if you think things are going fine in your marriage, but you hear your wife asking perplexing questions like, “Do you really love me?” or “What happened to the romance?” see her questions as red flashing warning lights. They are alerting you to something you need to take seriously. (Thankfully, based on years of research into how women think, those issues are also fairly simple to address, which we will outline in Part 2!) I heard this example recently… does... Read more

When Gratitude Looks Like a Lord of the Rings Bracelet

Last updated on: November 21, 2018 at 1:42 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

My brother asked me recently why I tend to wear a particular bracelet all the time. It’s a dark navy cuff with silver symbols on it—it’s beautiful and unique in its own right. But it’s also special for another reason. I got it on our family’s once-in-a-lifetime trip to New Zealand last summer. And it is a constant reminder to me of the need for gratitude. As a little background: Jeff, me, and the kids are all huge Lord of... Read more

Your Wife Needs You to Tell Her She’s Beautiful

Last updated on: November 19, 2018 at 1:15 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

Men, have you ever had a date with your wife take a turn for the worse and you didn’t know why? You’d probably both been looking forward to date night, with some time away from the kids and a special outing planned. But by the time you got to your destination your wife was in a sour mood that simply mystified you. Well, maybe you just needed to focus in and take a closer look at what was right in... Read more

Would You Be Interested in Helping With My Current Research Project?

Last updated on: November 12, 2018 at 4:56 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

I’m excited about my newest research project and I’m at a stage where I really REALLY need the help of a few motivated friends to conduct my next few test surveys! For the next 3 weeks (through the end of November), I am looking for 5-10 helpers who are energetic, outgoing, have good-sized networks they can call on, and are good at talking people into things!

4 Tips to Communicate Well with Guys at Work or School

Last updated on: October 31, 2018 at 12:48 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

My first job out of college was working on Capitol Hill, and in one early project I had to coordinate getting information from a lot of decision makers. So to make sure nothing got dropped, I also needed to ask a lot of questions. I worked closely with Ryan, another guy my age. We started off with a fine relationship. But as the project went on, he didn’t seem to like me very much. He became quite short with me... Read more
