Often we head into marriage expecting it to be a sexual utopia or an ever-flowing fountain of intimacy, and then when the honeymoon is over, we realized that we are sinful people married to sinful people in a sinful world. Sometimes our expectations of marriage have to change. Sometimes we need an overhaul of our behavior and attitudes. Other times, just small tweaks can make enormous differences when it comes to intimacy, connectedness, and sexual pleasure.
Starting today, we are giving away a bundle of six books geared toward couples who want to renew marital intimacy. We are grateful for New Growth Press for donating so many books and for Sheila Gregoire for adding her book to the bundle.

What has helped our intimacy the most I believe is my quitting my porn addiction. My wife has felt much more comfortable with me in the last few months since I have “porn free”. I can actually feel her trying to please me and starting to not worry about her measuring up to what I used to look at on the computer! I can feel her letting go and releasing herself to me more and more each time we have sex now.
When I say covenant eyes have changed my life ,my marrige, and my (and husband) relationship/bond with God, I say it with the loudest voice possible!! I was in a hotel room with a broken spirit and fed up with my marriage ready to throw in the towel to a 27 year marriage. All due to years of pornography. I was searching the internet for a sense/sources of peace. I found peace in a lot of bible verses but FINALLY found understanding thru covenant eyes and all its resources. I can rejoice in saying we both are in the new recovery stage. Im eagerly looking for more info to continue our growth. Thank you covenant eyes!
I would love to win the book bundle!
Communication and time
18 months ago God made a play for my husbands life and won. He is an every growing stronger Christian. The marriage we had built was destroyed by the worlds view on God, sex, lies and life, God pulled the marriage apart and started rebuilding it his way, the way He designed marriage, intimacy, love with God as our centre not what can “i” get out of this life. Books, podcasts, radio, christian music, i am second, church, counselling, talking, praying, covenant eyes and ultimately putting all of our trust daily in God and His word bought about a miracle that the world said was impossible. We love to both grow from Christian books with biblical context as its base, giving God the glory as without Him in our lives we are lost.
Forgiveness and understanding…lots of both!
I am a widower, but I have a buddy whose marriage is on the rocks. I’m hoping this will help him and his wife.
There is a deep need for intimacy that only God can fill. That place can’t be satisfied by anything or anyone. CovenantEyes reminds you that seat belongs to God. When you find that intimacy with your Creator, you can find peace and joy.
I am still in the early stages of recovery, so my wife and I have not started rebuilding intimacy yet. Hopefully this bundle will help us both along the path to rebuilding intimacy and being the loving couple we were at the beginning of our marriage.
I highly recommend the book “Love and Respect” by Emerson Eggerichs. Fantastic advice.
This is fantastic. Two big helps in marital intimacy: (1) Thankfulness [lust is a kind of discontentment, isn’t it?] and (2) personal time with God [we need a lot of help in this journey].
