Excerpt:

Great Parents, Lousy Lovers is a challenging guide for couples to begin re-investing in their marriage and not just their children. The greatest gift parents can give their children is a mother and father who love each other deeply, because a great marriage is the single most important parenting tool.

My Views:

Being a parent and obtaining a healthy relationship, is it possible? In "Great Parents, Lousy Lovers", Dr. Gary Smalley teamed with Ted Cunningham show you in a humorous type approach that you can have both.

I love that the book doesn't focus on *sex* the whole way through like some other relationship books seem to push that sexual activity and lots of it is the only way to please your significant other.





This book focuses on relationships and parenting in a way that you as a couple will be able to balance the two and be just as happy in your marriage!

This book would be great used in a life group/Bible study group setting. Extras are links to
video pod casts, a web forum with specific questions, and date night activities and discussion questions.

A bit about Beanstalk Express:

New information from the US Department of Health and Human Resources reveals that despite national efforts to curb childhood obesity here in the US, rates are still climbing!  Because the years of preventing childhood obesity are over by the time our children reach kindergarten, parents need products that offer a fun and practical approach to teaching their children balanced nutrition!  And we have it!

Welcome to Beanstalk Express, the home of the world’s first snacktivity game, The SnackTime survival kit At Beanstalk Express, we’re parents too!  And like you, we also envisioned raising fruit-and-veggie loving eaters, avoiding processed foods and “just saying no!” to drive through windows!  But then something happened along the way … We had kids!

 After enduring the preschool battles with picky eaters and around-the-clock requests for sweets and goodies, we realized what was missing when it comes to inspiring our kids with healthy habits that will last …Food marketers have been making junk food fun for decades. So what if we made healthy choices just as much fun?  We decided to try it … and it worked! When you empower children with the ability to make their own choices, amazing things happen!  At Beanstalk Express, we make healthy fun!  And in the process, they become habit!
