How Can We Light A Fire When The Kids Are Driving Us Crazy

Remember a time when you and your mate weren’t too tired for romance? When you could take off on the spur of the moment for a glamorous evening or sexy weekend? Before listening for the patter of little feet put a damper on lovemaking? Believe it or not, you’re about to recapture the rapture! From the New York Times bestselling author of the runaway hit Light His Fire and number-one Light Her Fire comes a new self-help guide for men and women that fills a universal need. In How Can We Light a Fire When the Kids Are Driving Us Crazy?, love expert Ellen Kreidman conclusively proves that passion and parenthood can go hand in hand. Through observations, success stories, and techniques that have come out of her famous seminars, she shows married couples exactly how to light their fires and achieve the greatest possible level of emotional and sexual fulfillment. According to Kreidman, rekindling the sparks begins by acknowledging three core principles: • If you don’t have an affair with your mate, you risk the possibility that someone else will. • The best gift you can ever give your children is having a lasting relationship with your partner. • The happiest, most well-adjusted children come from a home in which the parents love each other. From that springboard, How Can We Light a Fire When the Kids Are Driving Us Crazy? goes on to offer sage advice and creative suggestions that encourage moms and dads to be loving partners, too—from homework assignments that teach you, your mate, and your children how to become better and more sensitive communicators, through a genuinely innovative list of “fifty-one ways to light a fire,” to two pages of stickers for scheduling and anticipating romantic rendezvous. And the Parents’ and Children’s Bills of Rights will keep the home fires burning while preventing meltdown. Whether the problem is finding a capable baby-sitter, the advisability of letting the kids into your bed, or discovering the best places to make love (home is the least arousing), you’ll find a wealth of effective answers here. Filled with the wit, compassion, and basic smarts that are Ellen Kreidman’s trademarks, How Can We Light a Fire When the Kids Are Driving Us Crazy? can make a marvelous difference in family happiness and harmony—as it restores the sizzle of courtship to married life.

The faith community spends much of its time dancing around the real issue of sex that concerns every married couple: What can they do in the privacy of their marriage to make their relationship leap with the joy God has in mind for it? A great deal written about what not to do, but little is available explaining the positive side of what is permissible. God's incredible message about sex and romance in marriage has to be the best-kept secret in religion for the past 1900 years. This book lets out the secret through a comprehensive description of how Scripture depicts sexual intimacy and romance in marriage, with detailed suggestions on how to apply Biblical principles to marriage.
