Shannon’s Blog
I just returned home from New York City where we taped another segment for The Today Show (which airs January 2nd), and I’m exhausted and overwhelmed at all I have to do before the holidays!!! SO I’m taking my own advice that I shared in my most recent Hot Tip E-newsletter …
If you are the wife of a (hopefully recovering) pornography addict, I have a heart-felt message I want to share with you that’s been brewing in me for some time. But first, I want you to pray that God would open your heart and mind in such a way that …
I heard a lady exclaim the other day, “Parents shouldn’t talk so openly with children about sex or else it will awaken their desires!” Sorry, but I couldn’t disagree more.

Oops… I thought I posted this last Friday while on a wonderful romantic get-a-way with my husband, but obviously my head was in the clouds and I accidentally filed it in my “drafts” folder instead of publishing it. Oh well, it’s never too late to be thankful, so…

The previous blog about “Trent’s dilemma” has sparked an interesting question from yet another husband:

One of the most interesting things is how many MEN seem to have found this website, and are ordering the book for their wives – a gesture which I hope all wives will interpret as something along the lines of, “Gee honey, I love you so much, and I want …
Every once in a while I get an email from a reader that I just HAVE to share (with their permission, of course!). Check out this testimony from Elizabeth…
Dear Shannon,
I had a bit of a breakthrough with my husband recently, and I know it’s thanks to your book. Will …
Every week we receive multiple emails from either men struggling with pornography, or wives struggling with their husbands’ use of it. (I know many women struggle with using pornography as well, but we’ll save that for another blog). I agree with Dr. Phil, who insists that users of …
I’m flying out shortly to speak in Canada all weekend, but thought I’d leave this for your to chew on from my file of interesting tidbits…

Over the past several weeks, I’ve been bombarded with emails from SCW readers bemoaning the fact that their HUSBANDS are the ones who have robbed them of their sexual confidence, through a variety of different ways such as pornography use, negative comments about her weight, too many paranoid questions about …
While in Tempe, Arizona doing some interviews yesterday, I had a block of free time and went for a walk. From my hotel, I strolled down the main avenue, then turned down a neighborhood road to get away from the traffic. The houses were pretty non-descript, with desert landscape adorning most front …

I toss this statistic out there as a vivid reminder …
While flying home Friday, I was completely oblivious to the miracle God was performing…
I had flown to New York City on Wednesday to do an interview on NBC’s TODAY Show (awesome experience, and Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb are even more beautiful in person!). I returned to DFW Airport exhausted and ready …
Following our “Boundaries in Friendships” blog a few days ago and all the great responses we’ve received, I thought you’d be interested in this little tidbit that my radio talk-show host friend, Gary, forwarded from his files of cool stuff to share on the air:
