Happy Valentines Day everyone! In honor of Valentines Day and our domestic discipline-versary (which was last weekend!!) we have put together a list of resources to help you improve your domestic discipline relationship.
COUPLES CHALLENGES
In 2012 we posted one couples challenge per month on our original blog (Learning DD) in an effort to help strengthen domestic discipline relationships throughout the community. The Couples Challenges were (and still are) a huge hit with both beginners to the lifestyle, and those who are more experienced. Below we have listed the 12 couples challenges, and invite you to check them out.
January: Compliments
February: Addressing Faults
March: Appreciation
May: The Rules
August: Confessions
October: Spontaneity
November: Gratitude
December: Charity

BOOKS

Below are a list of books (both domestic discipline, and non domestic discipline) that we feel may really help you with domestic discipline, being an HOH, being a submissive wife, or with your marriage/relationship in general. Whether you're new to domestic discipline or have practiced for many years, we hope you find this list helpful.
  • Domestic Discipline Boot Camp for Beginners: This is our new eBook that is only available right now on a pre-release until February 28th. You can purchase it by clicking here, and every purchase enters you into our giveaway for a $100 Amazon giftcard. 
  • Domestic Discipline Boot Camp: This eBook is geared more towards experienced domestic discipline couples. Like the above book, it is available for purchase here and each purchase will also enter you into our Amazon.com giveaway.
  • The Love Dare We are big fans of Alex and Stephen Kendrick's book The Love Dare. The Love Dare is a 40-day journey to strengthening your marriage and although it does not specifically pertain to domestic discipline, a lot of the 40 day challenges will strengthen your core marital values which will transition over into domestic discipline. Whether you have been married 1 month or 50 years, we highly recommend The Love Dare which you can purchase (or read more about) by clicking here.
  • The Excellent Wife: Written by Martha Peace, The Excellent Wife is a scripture based book that focuses on improving your relationships with your husband, your children and God. You can purchase the book here, or if you have an Amazon Kindle email me (using the Contact Us page) and I'd be happy to give you my copy (directly to your Kindle) for free using the Kindle Lending/Sharing program.
  • The Surrendered Wife: Like The Excellent Wife, The Surrendered Wife (written by Laura Doyle) explores what it means to be a submissive wife, ways to strengthen your marriage, and teaches/walks through how to give up the unnecessary control (which is important in a domestic discipline marriage). Although there are some parts of the book that I don't agree with, overall it's worth reading if you're starting (or are experienced with) domestic discipline. You can purchase it here, or email me (by clicking the Contact Us page) if you have an Amazon Kindle and I will give you my copy for free directly to your Kindle.
  • Family Shepherds  Calling and Equipping Men to Lead Their Homes: If you're a Christian this book is great. It focuses on examining why being the Head of the Household is important, how to lead your family, and how to improve or strengthen your marriage. There's also quite a bit about parenting, and the Bible, in it so if those both apply to you it's definitely worth reading. You can purchase it here.

Websites/Other Resources
Below are a list of websites, articles, and other resources that may help you with your domestic discipline marriage. These are great if you don't have time to read a full book (like the ones above) or are just looking for a brief overview of certain domestic discipline topics.

If you have any website links, blog links, books, etc. that we missed, feel free to submit them to us! We would love to include them. You may do so by leaving it in the comments here, or by emailing us

Happy Valentines Day! We have an enormous amount of appreciation, love and respect for all of our readers. We hope that you have a wonderful Valentines Day!
