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 Review:

Great Parents, Lousy Lovers address one of the biggest challenges facing parents today, making time for each other.  This is also probably one of the least discussed problems in parenting.  It's easy to get caught up in caring for the children and not have any time or energy left for you or your spouse.

Relationship experts Dr. Gary Smalley and Ted Cunningham take on this pitfall for families in their book Great Parents, Lousy Lovers.  They offer sound, practical advice on how to keep the spark of romance alive while maintaining a happy, healthy home.

I truly enjoyed this book.  It is as entertaining as it is informative.  The date suggestions and "study" questions at the end of each chapter are excellent.  There are also video podcasts and an "Add your voice" message board to share your thoughts on the chapters.  I would recommend reading this with your spouse as a bible study.   To get the most out of the book it needs to be read together.
