1. Oh, Susannah Tonight Not Tonight Reversible Throw Pillow Case Cover Fits 18×18 Insert. Send a clear signal about lovemaking tonight with these pillow cases. Fun way to initiate sex!
2. Married Is Great t-shirt. Marriage really is great, when done well. Go ahead and celebrate it with a t-shirt for one or both of you. I love mine!
One of two in my collection! And “Spock” owns one too.
Married Is Great has several designs and hoodies as well!
3. Love Tokens – Set of 10. And begging the question: Why did I think of that? Love this tokens you can give your spouse to give back to you!

From time to time, I get asked where to shop for intimate things! Well, here are a few recommendations.
Married Dance. For marital aids/sex toys.
Honoring Intimates. For lingerie and lube.
Mentionables. Another quality lingerie site.
Dating Divas. For fun date-night ideas, games, and printables).
Faithful Counseling. For individual and couples counseling. To be fair, you don’t really “shop” for counseling, but Faithful Counseling is a site where clients can connect with faith-based counselors that match their needs and preferences. The biggest plug I can give here is to say that I tried it with regard a specific issue I was facing, and I had a fantastic experience. But if you don’t, you can easily request a different counselor.
