 UPDATE FROM OUR ZIMBABWE TRIP!
Thank you for your prayers for our family during our recent mission trip. We are so thankful to be back on American soil! However, we returned with an even greater burden for Africa than when we left. At the invitation of Youth for Christ, we traveled to 16 different high schools, churches, and orphanages throughout Bulawayo where Shannon spoke to over 6,000 teen girls and boys about “How to Have the BEST SEX -- by waiting until marriage!” As with any mission trip, we learned so much more than we taught, and we learned some things that we feel compelled to share with everyone we know. Please click here to read our complete update and to learn about how YOU can help fight the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
NOW AVAILABLE: EVERY WOMAN'S MARRIAGE
EVERY WOMAN'S MARRIAGE
Igniting the Joy and Passion You Both Desire
by Shannon & Greg Ethridge
Set Your Husband’s Heart Ablaze
Are you a “desperate housewife,” committed to marriage yet longing for a deeper, more intimate connection with your husband? Believe it or not, you can have the marriage you long for–if you’re willing to take desperate measures.
If you’re ready to stop the blame game and pursue the marriage of your dreams, let authors Shannon and Greg Ethridge show you how to reignite your relationship with spiritual, emotional, and physical passion. Drawing on real-life stories from both men and women, as well as lessons from their own less-than-satisfying early years of marriage, they offer penetrating insights about what it takes to nurture a dynamic marriage, including…
- what makes a husband’s heart grow cold–and how you can fan the embers into flame
- the difference between being “right” and being “righteous”
- how to fight fair
- how to guard your heart against unhealthy comparisons
- the dynamic power of getting spiritually and emotionally naked
- what your husband really wants most (It’s not what you think!)
Every Woman’s Marriage will give you practical tools and wise biblical counsel for transforming a listless marriage into a vibrant, exciting relationship. Get ready to set your husband’s heart ablaze!
PRAISE FOR EVERY WOMAN'S MARRIAGE
“Finally! An insightful and frank discussion about the perspectives, expectations, and behaviors that impair marital relationships. With Shannon’s expertise on sexual and emotional integrity and Greg’s male perspective, Every Woman’s Marriage offers practical guidance for reigniting the intimacy and passion every woman longs for.”
–Ginger Kolbaba, managing editor of Marriage Partnership magazine and author of Surprised by Remarriage
TESTIMONIES & PRAISE:
“I walked into the Christian bookstore and bought Every Woman’s Marriage and I think it’s the best book I have ever read on marriage. At some parts, I felt that I could have written the book because it was so much like my own experiences. My husband and I have been married for 17 years and he is a pastor at a large church. I have been telling every one of my girlfriends and family members about your book. Thank you for writing it, sharing your experiences, and being so real and relatable.” - Trudy
“I am writing this email to thank you for writing Every Woman’s Battle. This weekend, my husband went hunting with his buddies after finally realizing the how detrimental his pornography addiction is to our marriage. I was full of righteous indignation, until after reading your book in less than 24 hours (couldn’t put it down!). I discovered that I am guilty of a whole basketful of sexual sin as well. I thank God that he used you to help me see my own weaknesses, and I am looking forward to this process of surrendering to Christ for healing and spiritual growth.” - Lisa
