Life gets busy. But that doesn’t mean we have to neglect those who are most important to us. At the end of 2016, God showed me He wanted me to take some time in early 2017 to invest in my marriage. It was time for a tune up. The fall had left us both tired and pulled in so many directions… I was looking forward to having more time together.
The 14-Day Romance Challenge by Sharon Jaynes was the perfect book to help jumpstart that intentional drawing closer. Whether you are experiencing problems in your marriage, just want a tune up or have a great marriage, this book is for you. It reminded me why I fell in love in the first place and all the things I used to do to make my man feel special but had gotten lazy about throughout the years.
It’s made for the busy lifestyle. The challenges aren’t difficult and there are different levels of interaction. Ms. Jaynes takes into consideration that all marriages are unique and not all couple enjoy the same things. What speaks love to one person speaks “uncomfortable” to another. This is the perfect book for wherever you are in the spectrum on your marriage.
While I would consider our marriage above average because we had no looming issues before starting the challenge, I feel even closer to my husband after the challenge. We are making more time to be intentional with each other. We are choosing to spend time together and just have fun. The fun is back in our marriage and it makes a huge difference, not just with each other but our whole family is reaping the results.
I would recommend this book to all married couples – newlyweds to get that firm foundation started from the beginning, couples with young children who can’t seem to find the time to spend together, couples with teenagers where life feels like it’s spent in the car, usually separate cars and empty nesters to remember again why you fell in love years ago.
I received this book as part of the invitation to be on the launch team, but all opinions expressed are my own.

I truly enjoyed reading this book! I love Sharon Jaynes's devotions and other books. Her writings on life and our relationship with God are always insightful and "A 14-Day Romance Challenge" did not disappoint. This was just what I needed to intentionally show my husband how much I value him and our marriage. The challenges were fun, simple and practical. There are lots of suggestions which helped make the process easy yet meaningful. I have already recommended this book to friends and look forward to revisiting the ideas and suggestions for years to come!

I love Sharon Jaynes, and all of her books, and this 14 Day Romance Challenge is no different! We have a sign hanging on our wall underneath our picture that says "We Still Do!" and this book is an amazing reminder that that sign still holds true!
This is an awesome 14 Day Challenge to reignite the passion in your marriage, and a great way to remind yourself and your husband that you still enjoy romancing him! I found some great new ideas in this book, as well as discovered that with some of the suggestions, I already do on a regular basis. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I would suggest going ahead and grabbing a copy of A 14 Day Romance Challenge, and go ahead and reignite some passion in your marriage. I plan to revisit this book at least every few months just to keep the spark in my marriage! :)

A 14-Day Romance Challenge by Sharon Jaynes, is a very sweet and thoughtful book. I loved all of the encouraging and creative ideas to add romance to your marriage and reaffirm love for your spouse.
While it is a short book, daily challenges for 14 days, there are so many ways to carry this forward indefinitely, or to do the challenge again at a later date using ideas not yet tried (which is what I plan to do for my husband).
This is an excellent book to enhance and refresh your marriage, whether newly married or married for many years, and everyone in between. I highly recommend this inspiring and creative book.

This book is okay. I appreciate the ideas but 90% of the book is how sex makes your husband happy. Well as a woman, we know this DUH?! Some may not want their marriage to be just about sex. I’m a mom of 4 kids we obviously do the deed lol but I’m looking for more ways to connect than just sex. The book did have good ideas and my husband did enjoy the things I did for him!

Are you up for the challenge? Sharon Jaynes tells us how and walks alongside us to encourage. I get to interview Sharon about this book on April 11, 2017. Should be a great show.

I really enjoyed reading A 14-Day Romance Challenge and could see how it could apply to a variety of people at any point in their relationship. It really stood out as a good resource for newlyweds. I really enjoyed how Sharon kept the chapters short but full of good information. She used quotes from many marriage/relationship books and brought all of the information together. I especially found the chapter on the creation of sex enjoyable. It helped me see it in a different light. Each chapter was full of real life suggestions on how to romance your husband, some which I have tried and some that were new to me. Some of them were practical and some were playful. I found it a well balanced book and would highly recommend it! It was an easy and quick book to read! Enjoy!

A must-read for marriages at any stage. My husband and I are recent empty-nesters and this book helped me to focus on him and put some of the fun back in our relationship. We still have a strong marriage and are very much in love; however, we are guilty of taking each other and our relationship for granted. This book helped me make my husband a priority and let him know how much I love and appreciate him. The challenges were simple and fun! I'm not a very creative person, but this book gave me the creative ideas to put into action! I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and focusing on my marriage.

When I got the book, I expected some ideas on how to romance my husband. After 29 years of marriage and life happening, romance isn't the same so I was excited for new ideas. Well the book EXCEEDED my expectations. Sharon not only provides over 250 ways to WOW your husband, she goes much deeper in explaining why and the importance in keeping romance alive and thriving in your marriage - no matter how long you've been married. my husband enjoyed the surprises each day and I enjoyed making romance important again.

My husband and I have been married 38 years and our 4 children have grown and now have families and lives of their own. I retired from teaching and faced the reality that the busy years of children and work were no longer the focus of my life. I realized that the man I married and had sadly neglected for too long needed to become my focus again. I needed to reignite our relationship and Sharon Jaynes' book, A 14 Day Romance Challenge, provided me with great ideas to relight the fire in our relationship. It worked best for me to read the whole book first and then go back and make a plan for each day before going into action with the plan. I did not realize how important words of affirmation were to my husband. Now I love sending him texts, especially when I'm close by, and watch his face light up or hear him chuckle as he reads my words of love. The book is an easy read and Sharon's ideas are easy to implement. It has amazed me what a huge change a few simple acts of kindness and love can do to bring happiness to my man and my marriage! I highly recommend this book! We're never too old to bring romance back to our marriage!

This book and challenge were so amazing!! I was blessed and so was my husband by the challenges. I was encouraged as the challenges were easy yet so thoughtful. The book was so well written and it was a quick read. Sharon did a great job incorporating Scripture in the book to validate her points and I so appreciate the use of Scripture in books like this. I would recommend this book to any married woman!!

Amazing book! It made me realize how I inadvertently had stopped showing appreciation for the little things. Doing the challenges gave me butterflies in my stomach and made me feel like I had a "school-girl" crush on my husband.
