    Thank you for this! I just got married, and any guides I can read to help me be a better wife is awesome! We haven’t read the 5 love languages, but we have taken the test, and it has helped so far! And I’ve looked into The Love Dare. Definitely looks awesome!

    I need a good marriage book, it’s amazing how much you can put your marriage in to perspective when you really put your mind in a place to focus on it. Our marriage always seems the BEST when we are both continuing to educate ourselves to be better spouses! Love this reference!

    I would add “Whom Not to Marry” to the list!

    Love Languages is fantastic. And I keep meaning to read Love & Respect! We did one called The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work during our premarital counseling and it was pretty good as well! (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/849380.The_Seven_Principles_for_Making_Marriage_Work)

    Yes, the 5 Love Languages is a must! Another great read is The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle. I highly recommend it! Thanks for a great list…

    Great list! I would also add “Wife for Life.”

  • The kids love circling their favorites in the @Walmart Toy Book and this year there are some amazing @JurassicWorld items. 

I decided to go with a #JurassicWorldRebirth theme for the boys in our family. Walmart has such a great selection of toys, fashion, home and more. 

If you’re not sure what to shop for this season, check out the Walmart Toy Book for some inspiration - it has all the best Jurassic World products to choose from. Plus, you can easily grab them at Walmart or walmart.com/jurassicworld.
