When I announced our new Creative Summer Days promotion (which starts Tuesday), I said that I like to use the summer months as a chance to use the more laid-back atmosphere of Summer to start some good habits. Your marriage is a great place to start–both you and your spouse along with your kids will reap the benefit of the extra effort.
Date Night in a Minivan is so much more than I thought it would be. Honestly, it sat in my to-be-read pile for a while, because I was thinking, “I’m not sure I need to read this. My husband and I connect regularly. The kids have a firm bedtime, and we enjoy our adult time each evening. We go on dates at least every few months, and on overnight getaways several times a year. In fact, we just returned from a weeklong vacation (you can see what I read on my vacation at that link, and check out some pics if you follow the other link in the post).” Although author Lorilee Craker does espo
use the virtues of time alone with your husband, that is not all this book is about.
The subtitle is “revving up your marriage after kids arrive,” and while most of our minds probably go to one place when we hear “revving up,” it’s not all about connecting physically or emotionally. If you think about it, the addition of kids to a marriage changes it in so many ways. Everything is intensified–money concerns, disputes about the division of labor, differences in our families of origin (which heavily influence the way we parent), conflicts with our parents–the new grandparents, fighting about time away from the family. . . .
Date Night in a Minivan gives you tips for dealing with all of these issues and so much more. Lorilee Craker tackles all of these issues with open sharing about from her own marriage. She shares honestly, but also uses humor to diffuse the automatic response that comes up when we are dealing with conflict–who’s right (or more accurately, “I’m right, so how can I convince him that he’s wrong“).
In addition to sharing her own experiences, each includes thoughts from “The Dish Panel,” other women who have struggled with the area that chapter addresses. But Craker doesn’t just leave us hanging. The chapters conclude with advice on how to GIGO (Get it Going On)–in other words, what to do to address the problem. The author suggests tactful ways to bring up the issue, work-arounds to differences of opinion, and more.
Another reason I like this book is because it’s really written to women. I don’t know about you, but I am the one who reads all the marriage/parenting books. Since it’s written to us, she is able to help us with our feelings about the subjects and then help us orchestrate equitable solutions.
Would you like to win one of five copies of this book? Leave a comment (if you want to dish, tell us about the biggest source of conflict in your family). I’ll announce the winners in next week’s column.
The winners of last week’s book, The Host, are

Donna Kozar says
I love the title.
Timothy Sternberg says
We have issues with financial struggles.
Denise says
He can’t handle anybody disagreeing with him and sees it as being disrespected and not being listened to. If you don’t agree with him, then your a bad listener.
chris h says
love this giveaway
Julie Donahue says
Looks like a great book!
I’d say time and money. And kids who don’t sleep very well.
sarah woods says
Two major sources; 1. Money; 2. Blended Families with Step Children. Thanks SW
Bev says
Never enough hours in a day or money here! Looks like a cute book. Please enter me in the contest. Thanks
Diane Dunn says
Easy Question… money and age.
My husband is 16 years older than me. Didn’t used to be a problem, but he is now slowing down as I am speeding up 🙁
Money is an issue for everyone. I have 4 children and WOW, it gets tougher and tougher every day!
Thanks,
Diane 🙂
Tobye David says
Our biggest source of conflict is either money, or division of labor. Sounds standard, but both can be very trying on a marriage. Little things like who takes out the trash can blow up into epic proportions and make mountains out of molehills.
Veronica Garrett says
Our biggest source of conflict is financial.
Janet says
Our biggest source of conflict is my husband’s picking on my driving after asking me to drive.I agree 100% with this comment. It makes me so nervous that I do make silly mistakes. lol ty 4 the nice giveaway!
kathleen Yohanna says
The biggest source of conflict in our family is relatives. Enough said.
Michelle H. says
Our biggest source of conflict is my husband’s picking on my driving after asking me to drive- it irks me to no end!
Lara Aleff says
The biggest source of conflict in my family is delegation and completion of chores. This seems to be a constant struggle.
Miss Emma says
Getting enough sleep.
Angela says
My biggest issue is balancing time with Connor and school.
I blogged your contest on Prize-A-Tron!

Heather C says
Biggest source of conflict: The amount of money ‘somebody’ spends on golf each month. Oye!
Jill L says
Biggest source of conflict is how I do my job as a mom. Hubby thinks I’m a little too relaxed and laid back. I’m with them 24 hours a day so I know them. Whereas he works 12 hours a day outside them home. Drives me crazy.
Kathy Mullins says
I would love to win this. In my family, politics seems to be the biggest source of conflict, but I make a point to avoid political discussions with my mother because they end up in heated arguments, and I really don’t want to spend any time with her arguing. I am very liberal and she’s very conservative so you can imagine it would be quite difficult for us to talk about that. So, we talk about the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and UMass basketball 😉 Sports talk is a great way to cement the bond between us.
K. Cleaver says
My biggest issue is just losing who I was. I know my husband has got to be wondering what happened to the woman he married.
Anyway, we try to schedule date night every other week. It doesn’t always happen.

Thanks so much!
Marion Burgess says
This looks like fun book to read. One of our conflicts is hubby doesn’t know how to save money, just spend it!!
mike pease says
count me in please 🙂
Paula S says
like most others, money. I’m a saver. He’s a spender.
Sherri Siler says
Our biggest conflict is money. I have to wonder if this stimulus money is causing arguments around the country. We got it a week ago and all we have done is argue about what to do with it.
Janice Wright says
Biggest source of conflict in a relationship? In mine it was money.
Angelia McDonald says
How we spend money, I was so upset yesterday, here we are in a country that is hurting, unpaid bills, and my husband goes and buys a remote control helicopter.

Brenda says
we fight over the remote control.
Erin Pearce says
We need to re connect. Having three kids in Less then four years has definately taken it’s toll on our alone time. Add to that, DH works nights and a 2nd job during the day, we are on different schedules. I would love any help I can get!!
Melanie Miller says
Our source of conflict is scheduling…not enough time together!
Traci says
Would love to win, thanks for the chance 🙂
Chiara Ascari says
Source of conflict frequently changes….what’s not to be conflicted about these days? Definitely could use the book as number 3 is expected in a week and a half!!
Dawn Fiske says
Hope my number is the correct one.
Donna says
I’d love a copy. The biggest source of conflict is concerning how we spend our limited time! There just never seems to be enough!
Gayle Morgan says
enter me please
mannequin says
Although he is very considerate, he just doesn’t quite get it. I absolutely have to have alone time and I mean alone, or I get so darn nervous I could pull my hair and everyone elses too. If I don’t have that, I feel as though I have nothing left to give anyone. Including him. In every way.
Viv says
My husband works very hard to support us. He travels frequently and even when he is not at work, his mind can stray to business. Often, work will call with some horrific problem, some metaphorical fire that of course no one but him could possibly put out. With two growing boys and their busy lives to manage and my own health problems (thyroid, depression) and blogs to run, I too am guilty of letting my attention stray from the care-taking a strong marriage requires to stay strong. I need to tell him more how much I appreciate him, and that I love him even more after all this time. Next year, we will be married twenty years…wow. I just realized, I really do need this book.

Our conflicts come from outside our relationship – namely in-law problems. I am devouring anything I can read that might help…
Diana S says
I’d love to win this– I love her “Just Give Me a Little Piece of Quiet.”
Lisa P says
Our biggest source of conflict stems from what this book is all about! That we don’t have enough mommy and daddy time.
Caroline says
Our biggest source of conflict is over money. Like many families, I imagine.
THis sounds like a great book.
Kristie Noguera says
Our biggest source of conflict is housework and yardwork and how it gets done and who does it and when.
Elizabeth M. says
There’s not much in the way of conflict right now but my husband does think I baby my son too much. I consider it spoiling because he’s leaving the nest soon and I enjoy spoiling him while I still can. He thinks he needs to do everything for himself because he’s got to learn independence by the time he leaves. He’s probably right but I can’t help it.
Margaret Snyder says
The biggest source of conflict right now in our family, is our daughter living on her own but not having a job to support herself. She expects us to do it for her, I guess!
Carol says
I would love the chance to win the book…our biggest source of conlict is parenting styles that conflict. I am eager and to learn something new

Oh, we need this book! Our biggest source of conflict? It’s a tie between not having enough time for romance and not having enough money. Sigh. We REALLY could use this book!
Leslie Sil says
Biggest source of conflict would be the kids
Robin Grenier says
I love the title…makes your mind wonder! I have a mini-van and I need a date night! Count me in!
jan koontz says
we own a really mean cat
Cindy S says
What is date night. Does that mean I drive my kids somewhere or help with homework after working a 12 hour shift?
Laura says
The biggest source of conflict is my alcoholic brother. My husband cannot stand how he acts at family functions, and his behavior towards my parents. It sickens both of us, and causes a lot of disputes in our family because of it.
nellbe says
I would love the chance to win the book…our biggest source of conlict is spending time together.
Thanks

I would love a copy of this book. Our two big conflicts are money & sex.

Channah says
The biggest source of conflict in our family is the laundry. I hate doing it, and I really hate folding it.

Noelia Gutierrez says
it’s too much tv too much snacking and struggling to stop.
jubilee says
The book sounds like a great read. The biggest source of conflict is that my husband shows love by spending lots of money on me and the kids when I don’t feel we have the money to do that. It stresses me out!
Alyssa says

I’d love to read this book!
Kari Follett says
Probably being tired, him coming home from work (tired) and me staying home with the kids (tired) and leading different lives during the day, it sometimes can be trying to get through the evening with three kids but it’s totally worth it 🙂
Donn says
Conflict, what conflict? *LOL*

I would love to win this

I’d love to win a copy. Our biggest conflict seems to be how to spend our family time. DH is in the military and spends a fair amount of time away…when he gets back, I want a break from the kids, he wants to spend time with us all….its a hard mix sometimes.
Thanks!
Jane Anne Owen says
I would love to win this book! My children are 7,4,3, and 6 months. Any kind of date (minivan or not) sounds wonderful!!
Brenda says
Our biggest conflict has been having a child before we were married or ready to have a child. Now we have two and are just now figuring out that we need to “date”… since we never really did before the family happened. Also we have been raised in totally different ways so how we parent is like polar opposites.
Jennifer Pierle says
Our biggest problem is definitely who’s doing what with the housework….ugh!
CPA Mom says
I’d love to have some suggestions on reviving your marriage…thanks!

Worry. He thinks I worry too much, I think he doesn’t worry about the future enough.
Katt says
Without getting in to too much detail, we could really use that book. We seem to have lost of connection lately and it frightens me.
Katie says
I’d like to enter the contest! And our biggest conflict right now is my son’s strong will. My husband and I don’t see eye to eye on how to respond to him all the time and it’s a source of tension with us all. Even the baby feels stress over his ability to antagonize her!!!
Jill says
She just spoke at my MOPS and is fantastic. I would love to get this book!!
carri says
sounds great!! we definitely need some advice and inspiration after recently adding baby #3 to our family…
Megret says
I’d have to say we squabble most over how much we need/want to do to our house and how frustrated we are that it’s not getting done. It’s like we forget that we have two children under the age of five or something. :0) There will be more time later on to re-tile that shower.
Thanks!
JENNIFER MOWERS says

Cindi says
At this point in our 22 year marriage, the biggest conflict is “Taking the Time for Each Other!” We have been threw the throes of financial difficulties and hopefully, we will never see the likes of those again! I can’t tell you the last time my husband and I went out for a date! My niece had given us a gift certificate for a restaurant that was virtually a landmark in our town and they just closed their doors! We still have the gift certificate. Please enter me in your book drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

Mary says
Probably finances. Great giveaway, thanks!
Hil'Lesha says
Biggest conflict? Getting my son to bed on time, because he tries his best to stay up all night. 🙁

We could use this around here…

If this is anything like her previous books, it will be well worth the read. She always gets her point across with humor and that helps make it easier to swallow. Of course sometimes it’s just funny to be funny, but I appreciate the truth amidst that humor.
Christy says
Sounds like a great book! I think long work hours and deployments are the hardest thing for us right now.
Kristie says
Sounds like a very interesting book. Our biggest concern seems to be money lately, but we usually agree what to do with it.

We’re pretty good on all fronts but just simply more time alone together
Shannon B. says
One of our biggest issues stems from the fact that my husband is a football coach and he spends a lot of time away from home in the fall. Of course if we didn’t have this issue we would have conflict about financial issues since there is a significant monetary benefit to his coaching!
Ashley says
love it! sounds great!
Sarah W says
Sign me up please….this book looks good! 🙂
Anne says
My husband and I don’t really have any conflicts; but in our family we certainly do.
Neither my brother nor sister will talk to us. My mother has severe alzheimers and my dad had a heart attack last Wed. He ended up having 2 stints put into 2 arteries. Now he is too ill to look after my mother.
My 16 yr old ran away a few months ago and we are still trying to deal with that.
Oh my husband and myself are the only of the children to have anything to do with my parents also.
Right now, I’m lost and could use a book to take me away!
NerdMom says
I have heard such great things about this book, I would love to win it. The biggest source of conflict in my marriage is my mother.

The biggest source of conflict in our marriage is communication and expectations of one another. We couldn’t be any more different in those two areas.
Great giveaway. Thanks.
JenniferS. says
sounds like a good book!
Tonya says
Hey wondering if the photo contest is officially over?

Ohhh, sounds like a great book for me to read!

the4moyers(at)msn(dot)com
Phyllis says
This looks like a great book. I think some of our struggles are making time for one another (and not talking about the kids, house, finances…when we do get that time) and parenting. I tend to have a little more grace and he can be very direct. I tend to think he’s a bit harsh and he thinks I am too easy on them.
Katie Martin says
Sounds like a great book. Thanks.
Happy Mama says
As of late we had a dear friend pass away and it has made both of us look at life in a different perspective where we once thought we could scrimp we now realize that we need to be generous.
It means a lot to the other if we let them have certain freedoms
This book sounds great!
The Pumkin Patch says
Our biggest issue is finding time together. We get time, but it’s not as much as we’d like. We need more “us” time.
Jane says
Definitely looks like a useful book! With a 1-year-old (unplanned) cosleeper in our house, married life has certainly changed.
Biggest source of conflict – communication styles! He’s “in your face” and wants things straight – I prefer to be a little more subtle and get upset when he doesn’t get the message . . .
Angela says
Our biggest source of conflict is time away from the children and division of labor. Thanks for holding the contest!
Kris says
Biggest source of conflict? By the time we get the kids to bed, we’re too tired to enjoy our time alone. And money, always money.
Beth says
I wouldn’t say it’s a source of conflict, but DH and I never get alone time. We don’t have anyone to watch the kids, I’m a morning person and he’s definately not, lol. It’s just hard to meet on the same “playing field” some days.
Natalie says
The biggest conflict in our family is the thermostat. My husband likes it super cold and we’re always “fighting” about it. I like it a little bit warm, so he freezes me out and I burn him up. LOL!
I’d love to read this book.
Carrie F. says
Oh Gosh!! I think this sounds like a great book, our biggest source of conflict…laundry and money.

We are trying to reconnect after our lives have become more harried. Thanks for the contest and the info on the book in case I don’t win!
Thea says
Biggest problem — Not having any energy to spend any time together once the kids are on bed. We are a TV family after 8:30pm.
Donna says
Our biggest conflict is how to deal with the kids behavior, how to discipline etc.
I have heard numerous times this is a good book, would love to win a copy.
Becky says
I have to agree w/Jenn (comment #5) Scheduling time together. If we don’t schedule it, it just doesn’t happen. Sad, but true.
Ruth :) says
hmmmm … after moving 1600+ miles away from family and friends, the biggest adjustment and course for frustration that then leads to conflict 🙂 is struggling while being away from those we love.
Jenn Johnson says
Biggest source of conflict? Scheduling time together! We didn’t used to have to do that! It’s hard to find time alone now!
picklemommy says
Biggest source of conflict: not enough time for date night!
Tammy says
Biggest source of conflict just depends on the day. Having kids just intensifies everything. : )
Heidi says
We have issues with both financial struggles (who doesn’t?) and parenting styles. We were raised VERY differently and we also have a rather large age gap, so those two things combined make for some rough times when it comes to parenting! 🙂
Camille says
I would say our biggest source of conflict is culture differences – my husband is African and I’m American. It’s amazing how coming from places across the globe can make you feel 1 million miles away from each other in your heart during a disagreement.
