About the author
Jay Payleitner
60 books32 followersJay Payleitner spent a decade in major market advertising. Learning how people think and doing some fun work. Including creating TV spots for Midway Airlines, Kroger, and Corona Beer. And heading up the creative team that named "SunChips."
But God called him into Christian media. And he became an almost-too-busy freelance producer. For more than a decade, Jay scripted and produced Josh McDowell Radio, Today's Father, Jesus Freaks Radio with TobyMac and Michael Tait, Project Angel Tree with Chuck Colson, and thousands of hours of radio that aired across the country and beyond.
Jay is a long-time affiliate with the National Center for Fathering and nationally-known motivational speaker for Iron Sharpens Iron, marriage conferences, men's retreats, women's events, writers' conferences, and weekend services.
Jay has sold more than half million books including the bestselling 52 Things Kids Need from a Dad and What If God Wrote Your Bucket List? His latest -- and perhaps most important release -- is The Jesus Dare.
This June, Waterbrook/Multnomah is releasing the surprising book, The Prayer of Agur.
Jay's books have been translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian, Afrikaans, Indonesian, Slovenian, Polish, and Russian.
He has been a guest multiple times on The Harvest Show, 100 Huntley Street, Moody Radio, Building Relationships with Gary Chapman, Cornerstone TV, and Focus on the Family.
Jay and his high school sweetheart, Rita, live in the Chicago area where they’ve raised five great kids, loved on ten foster babies, and are cherishing grandparenthood.

I actually loved this! Just got married in December & purchased it myself for our honeymoon beach trip as a light read. Very cute & great reminders for honestly any serious relationship in my opinion but of course the newest journey for me - marriage! I’d definitely suggest it as a great gift for a newlywed couple like myself & my husband ☺️
I also want to note - I think it’s a book that’s good to leave out on a coffee table / common book shelf to refer back to if that makes sense? Each chapter covers a different topic that’s a great reminder in general. I’d recommend!

I received this book as a belated wedding gift, and as the first reader to leave a rating on Goodreads, I felt compelled to leave a review. The book is simple and nothing more than what it says on the cover: 52 ideas (to take or leave). It is a cute book with a lot of sage marriage advice in short-form. It is a cute gift idea for newlyweds, and I can imagine bequeathing my copy to my next friend who ties the knot.

I wasn’t expecting much from this, but there was actually some really good stuff in here. This motivated us to finally do some important things we’ve been putting off since the wedding, so I’m pretty happy with this little read. It was really cute and made me appreciate my hubby more than I already do.
I just have to disagree with the author when he said dogs are better than cats..

I got this as a wedding gift and it was SO great. I think it is applicable for any married couple - not just your newlywed year. Fun nighttime read!
