Book Review: Couples Who Pray Together by SQuire Rushnell and Louise DuArt

I received my first book from BookSneeze  for free in exchange for an honest review two weeks ago. Couples Who Pray by SQuire Rushnell  (Author of the bestseller When God Winks at You) and Louise DuArt (entertainer and talk-show host) is surely a book that changes our marriage for good and for yours too!

I grow up in a family that prays together every night and day. I grow up witnessing how God moves His hands to do the things which we can't do every time we pray. When I got married, I continued this tradition with my family before going to bed. But praying as couples, it's inconsistent...if only we can find time or during times that we  faced with BIG problems  I could now assessed that we've not really committed ourselves to joint-prayer as husband and wife. I do pray for my husband, alone. He does pray for me, alone. Why not practiced praying together even for few minutes a day where we can share our innermost thoughts and concerns with our spouses? If the authors and other celebrities like Denzel and Pauletta Washington and Kathie Lee and Frank Gifford, to mention a few, find time EVERY DAY to pray as couples for five minutes amidst their hectic schedules- more hectic schedules than ours, why can't we? On those days that we pray together as couples we experienced happiness for answered prayers, how much joy would it be if we committed ourselves to pray together every day? 

The testimonies of the authors and other celebrities were really inspiring. As they bare themselves before God in prayer for a minimum of five minutes a day for forty days, they experienced extraordinary results like soar in lovemaking satisfaction, elevation of spousal communication, respect rises, miracles, financial breakthroughs and happiness that this world can't give. If they all claim they successfully accomplished something by simply praying together, then it won't be far to happen to us as we're on our tenth day. Moreover, a result of a research conducted provides an evidence that couples who pray together has tangible results.

I came across lots of articles about praying together but this one inspires me a lot, so far . The contents are mostly encouraging, blessed and filled with hope. It seems like the authors are in front of me talking with smiles and showing me on what's the best thing to do in our marriage. Indeed this book is a must-have for every couple. It will be an eye-opener for everybody that the couple that pray together are the couple that stay together. Furthermore, this book has everything you need to begin a more intimate and rewarding relationship. It also offers simple tips to make your marriage better than before and sweeter as the days go by!

Who among you here got as many sisters as I do?  I got eight beautiful younger sisters. Isn't that wonderful...sooo beautiful?

As I mentioned in my previous posts, I'm the eldest of 14 children. I got 8 sisters who looked up on me with respect and adoration. I got 8 companions to whom I can express my feelings. They're my jewels and I never regretted that they're born nor that we're as many as over a dozen. I can always turn to them coz they're my bestfriends. There were no dull moments with them. I love them so much! They're one of the beautiful things of my life.

Care to share your anti-aging secret?

For celebrities, image is everything. It's not a surprise that even if they're already in their 40s, 50s or even 60s, they still possessed that attention-grabbing, dewy, fresh gorgeous skin. I wonder if they used xpi xtreme hgh? This supplement is popular because it claims to enhance physical appearance (won't fail you to look better on camera), boost endurance, stamina, metabolism, energy, and muscle mass while reducing body fat.




Take for example, Cindy Crawford. She'll be 45 this year but her age doesn't show, does it? You can't see trace of lines and wrinkles on her face. Makes me thinks, what's her powerful anti-aging secret? Do you know?

Hi meme lovers. There's a new meme hosted by Shengkay's Randomness Journal open every Tuesday to Saturday.If you love orange, then it's time for your orange stuffs to be in the limelight and if you simply needed a filler post, joining this meme could be the right one for you coz you'll just find photo of yourself with orange, your love ones, your things or just anything that has color orange, write a short description then voila, you got a post. But don't forget to leave comments to the host and to other entrants who manage to sneak a peek on your entry.






I only had few things in orange. I noticed that someone wearing orange stands out in crowd. Maybe because of its so bright or maybe because only few choose this color. I've been told that people who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere. Do you think so? Let's us hubby..he..he...

Here's my hubby wearing orange Wrangler tee. It's the only orange tee that he got. This photo was taken last December 2010 by the pretty woman behind Janet Luison's Photography.
