I have always loved Kathy Peel. She is a great author who teaches women about being family mangers of their homes. If we look at our home like we would if we were in the workplace we could start thinking about areas that need to be managed effectively to keep everything running smoothly but we often think of it just as housecleaning,etc and we don’t treat it like a business and often we struggle with areas of homemaking because of it. So I was so excited when I had the chance to review her new book called, “The Busy Couple’s Guide to Sharing the Work and the Joy”.

This is an excellent book to read with your spouse if you like to read books together. My husband and I have started it and we are really enjoying it. It talks about topics that effect family life on the daily basis. She talks about ways you can help one another, meal ideas, how to keep you family strong in faith and ways to stay connected as a couple even when life throws you curves or you don’t have the most convienient schedules. The husband even adds a mans point of view at the end of each chapter. I LOVE the example of the couple who was about to give up on their marriage because their expectations for meal times were so strained and how her and her husband helped this couple make a few changes that helped the husband reconnect. They now have been married 20 years. One of the most fought over areas in a marriage is not feeling appreciated and helped. This book will help so much in that area. It is just full of great ideas. You have to check it out!
