"We All Married Idiots" Impacts Healthy Marriages


Two author/speaker friends never intended to read We All Married Idiots. Afterall, there marriages were great. Why fix something that isn't broken? Well Idiots encourages great marriages to a higher level of greatness. Afterall, even the great can fall!

I was blessed when my friends with amazing marriages read We All Married Idiots and messaged me how Idiots impacted their already healthy marriages. I hope you will heed their advice and read We All Married Idiots too.

“What? Me read a book about marriage?” I giggle to myself when given the book. “I’ve recently celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary, I’ve got this down.” Yet, drawn in by Elaine Miller's humor, I immediately discovered that “We all Married Idiots,” including my husband and me!
Elaine’s book, “We all Married Idiots,” is a must read for marriages of all durations. It can be read together as a couple, used in a Bible study, or cherished by a believing spouse who’s ready to give up. It offers the tools to empower your home and marriage to be its best!
In speaking at conferences, I often ask my audience, “If you were choosing a spouse for the one you married, would you have chosen YOU?” Even after 30 years of my own love and commitment, Elaine Miller's book gave me lots to think about and pray about, and offered me great ideas that will cause me to be a better wife and lover. Yes, because she dared to write We All Married Idiots, my husband and our children will all be helped by its words"

"Even though I wouldn't gravitate toward a marriage book b/c that's not where I need the most help in my life (thank God), I found your book so encouraging! A situation even arose hours later with my husband and your words came back to me: he is being an idiot, not a fool. There is a difference, and I can be thankful he's one and not the other! But more than that, I found I can apply the truths you wrote about in other relationships. In fact, I'm going to use some of your material in my Sunday sermon, "When God's People Disappoint." So helpful!
Just wanted to tell you. I"m sorry I never read it before; I had bought it for two people whom I felt needed it much more than me. God's timing is perfect; I'm glad I discovered it on my bookshelf!" 

Book reviews are a splash of serenity on my day. Join my fight and God's fight for marriages. Please. I'd love for any readers to post a review on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Christian Book Distributors, or GoodReads. Thank you!

While you are at it, read and review my friends'excellent books.

Words Matter: What we say, pray, and write can change our families! Book Review



The words we say serve or suffocate our spouses, our children, and our world. It's time to change the way we talk to each other.

I gave a five star review to Words Matter — What we say, pray, and write can change our families! I wish I could have given a TEN! This is a must-read for every family.

In a world where bad language and disrespect screams on the air waves and highways of life, I wonder how we can change this behavior. Janet Lynn Mitchell tells us in her must-read book, Words Matter — What we say, pray, and write can change our families!

Packed with Scripture teaching God's Word how we should communicate, Words Matter is a parenting and marriage book that belongs in every home and read by every person. Mitchell addresses how we should respond with words when a child lies, is rude, or inappropriate with their language. Learn how to teach your child to apologize and break the habit of making excuses and blaming. Teach manners. Stop the bullying!

If every person would read this book, it would not only change the family, it would change the world. I know it changed me. I will keep it close by as a ready reference because Words Matter and what we say, pray, and write can change our families!

If the world would speak the way God teaches, what a splash of serenity we would be to each other! Let's change the way we talk. It begins with me and you.
