10 Reasons You Should Read & Share This Marriage Book

In 2 short weeks, the Happy Wives Club book will hit stores. Two years in the making and the day is finally here.  Wow.

Unfortunately, I’m a horrible salesperson.  Even when I was the Director of Sales & Marketing for a Hilton-family hotel.  

We were one of the busiest hotels in the area, and when other salespeople would ask my advice I’d tell them, “Oh, I hate sales!  I’m not good at it at all.”

What I was good at was building relationships.  And that’s what allowed me to be a successful salesperson.  

To this day, what I love most about life are the relationships I’ve cultivated.  My father always told me that people were a much greater currency than money so the wiser investment.

I agree.

But what I’ve quickly learned with writing a book is if I want the world to read it, I’d better learn to embrace my inner salesperson (I assure you, she’s kicking and screaming and in a fetal position at this moment) or no one will know about it.

The Happy Wives Club book was birthed directly out of this movement.  When I began this site, a book deal was the furthest thing from my mind.  Even how it came about was a bit serendipitous.  

But now that I’ve poured my heart and soul into this book, I present it to you.  In hopes that you would join my journey around the world to meet new friends and discover what has made their marriages so great over the years.

And because sales isn’t my gift (hear my inner sales person running in the other direction right now), I thought I would just share with you my heart.  Is that okay?

10 Reasons Your Should Pre-Order, Read & Share Happy Wives Club

1. There has never been another marriage book like it – ever!  I’m so confident of this, I asked the publisher to make the first 4 chapters of the book downloadable for free and they did. The best description I’ve heard of it so far is it is like Eat, Pray, Love meets The 5 Love Languages.  I have read the book four times.  Even though I’m the author, it’s really the couples in the book that tell the story.  I learned from their lessons, dined in their presence, fell in love with their countries and along the way, made my marriage better.

2. The world needs a reason to believe in love again.  Can you imagine how beautiful this world would be if we loved each other a little more?  The young kid willing to take the life of another because he sees no hope.  Can you imagine how love could give him hope?  

3. Encouraging happy and healthy marriages is a benefit to us all.  One of the quotes that has remained with me over the years is something Wade Horn said in 2004: “The United States Administration for Children and Families (ACF) spends $46 billion per year operating 65 different social programs. If one goes down the list of these programs… the need for each is either created or exacerbated by the breakup of families and marriages.”  It was a reminder that we cannot solve the issue of poverty if we don’t figure out how to keep families together.

4. I poured my heart and soul into the writing of this book.  HWC contributor, Cheri Gregory, who recently read an advance copy of the book (in 2 days!) posted this note on Facebook for me last night, “LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it on my first read! Now using highlighters and Post-Its on my 2nd.  I’ve been greatly moved by your personal reflections on your own marriage. Each time I put the book down I felt like I’d been in a sacred space.”

5. The book has the ability to touch more hearts than even the Happy Wives Club movement.  When the endorsements from this book began rolling in from people I’ve never met and had no reason whatsoever to endorse my book (people like 3x Olympic gold medalist, Misty May-Treanor, New York Times bestselling authors, Priscilla Shirer and Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott, and so many more), I knew we’d created something very special.  

6. You are committed to positively changing the tone of marriage around the world.  If you are a supporter of the Happy Wives Club you are already helping to change the negative perception surrounding the union that is marriage.  So don’t only pre-order the book for yourself but for your closest friends.

7. The pre-order special the publisher has created makes the purchase of this book a no-brainer.  Seriously.  If you pre-order the Happy Wives Club book today, you can get it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble for 25% off.  In addition, you’ll get all the things listed in the image above.  And if you’ve already pre-ordered the book, you can get these things too!

8.  Sharing this with your friends will grow the pre-orders.  The more books that are pre-ordered, the higher the likelihood this book will be found at the front of the bookstores across the country and eventually around the world.  People who never knew a lifelong and happy marriage was possible will be reassured in its existence and the never-ending power of love.

9. You will be a huge support to the Happy Wives Club movement.  I don’t know if you’ve noticed but in the close to 4 years HWC has been around, there has never been an advertisement on this site (or our Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest communities).  I’ve never done a sponsored post.  Although there is a cost associated with running such a large site, I never wanted our community to feel as though they were being sold to or spammed.  But for those of you who have always wanted to support HWC, this is a great way to do it.

10. My utter gratitude.  I remain grateful to you each and every day.  Whether you pre-order the book or not, regardless of if you share this post or not, I will continue to be thankful for you. Because you continue to encourage marriages around the globe and by doing so, you are changing it for future generations.  It has been an honor to serve you and this community and my hope is I’ll be able to continue for as long as you’ll allow.

Bonus reason: You can join my book club that will begin Monday, February 3, 2014.  We will read the book together and you’ll be able to ask me anything -no topic is off limits- through a private Facebook group I will invite you to join.

My inner sales person is still somewhere in a corner crouched down and utterly embarrassed that I just gave you 10 reasons (and a bonus one) I think you should not only pre-order and read Happy Wives Club, but to also share this post.
