Hallie Lord’s new e-book Spice Up Your Marriage turns up the heat. In a 28 day challenge, she offers tips and ideas that will rekindle low burning flames or ignite candles into torches. Yes, the book is mainly for women but it is only a man that can testify to its veracity. My wife and I have not completed the 28 days (yet), but I can tell, from Lord’s advice, that much of what she says is helpful.
There are the parts that only a woman may understand fully, like pampering yourself to help set the stage of romance, but the main theme of playfulness, spontaneity, and priority definitely speaks to husband and wife. Marital intercourse is sacred, but it is also creative and this small book gives you practical ways to be imaginative. Perhaps the wisest advice that I have heard – from many older loving couples and which Lord has found – is making love a priority within your marriage.
The book is divided into 28 day challenges. Each day has three varying degrees of romance. There is something here for those shy or timid and something for the more shall I say “experimental.” No, I am not talking about swinging from a trapeze. Lord, however, does give some fun ideas that I think couples would find enjoyable.
Some of the challenges include:
- Pampering yourself
- Bucket List of Foreplay
- Sampling Aphrodisiacs
- Sleep in New Spot
This little electronic book can also be used more than once and differing combinations. This allows couples to keep practicing and growing closer. As Catholics, we are well versed in the biology of marital intercourse: this book gives prescriptions for the union part of making love.
The 28 day challenge seems fun in itself and Lord goes a little further and even offers some practical ways to make more time for making love.
If you follow this text, then it should stretch your sexual life with the person you love the most, your spouse. If this book is not meant for you, the main idea is: Make sex a priority within your marriage.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Jared!
Most welcome! Keep up the good work!!!
Sounds like a good book! If none of that other stuff works, guys, the best way to get her in “the mood” is to clean the kitchen, clean the bathroom, and fold and put away the laundry. That should do the trick!
You’re a smart man, Chris!
