180 Experiences That Will Strengthen Your Marriage!

We are sharing one of our favorite marriage books with you and adding our very own Diva spin. 180 Experiences That Will Strengthen Your Marriage proves that happy and successful marriages are possible. Not only are we sharing this book with you but we are also sharing some of our favorite quick and easy date ideas that will help to strengthen your marriage while creating lasting and beautiful memories one experience at a time.

 I love my husband deeply and I try to meet my husband’s needs, but regardless of how hard I try our marriage just isn’t perfect and it’s never going to be! Just because I’m a Diva that doesn’t mean my marriage is any different then your’s. My marriage experiences it’s valleys and peaks. We have struggles and our imperfections just like all other couples. A big reason I love being a Diva is because I am constantly reminded about how important cherishing my spouse is for our marriage, coming up with ideas to strengthen our marriage, and encouraged to keep at it by the Diva team!

I LOVE learning more and more about how to strengthen my marriage. I am a huge reader and many times my husband and I read marriage books together while we are driving, camping, and during family night. My husband isn’t always a fan of this but it’s something that I think is vital to a growing marriage. I don’t have all the answers and neither does he, I welcome all opportunities that come our way to learn and grow together.

This last year has been a huge struggle in my marriage. We have gone through some really rocky times. We discovered that we were unable to have babies of our own, long kept secrets that had been tucked away through all of our marriage came out in the open, we had an addiction to aggressively battle to keep our marriage alive, and we were unable to hold down a steady job. What I thought was a healthy, happy, and successful marriage was crumbling right before my eyes. In this time I have learned to rely on my Heavenly Father in more ways then ever before, discovered I am not alone, and felt love and blessings sent my way.

I’m not telling you all these things so that you all can throw me a pity party, but to let you know that you can overcome anything that comes your way with a positive outlook, determination, and patience. There is light at the end of the tunnel! With work, prayer, and 180 Experiences That Will Strengthen Your Marriage, you will reach that light!

Needless to say I was so thankful for the invitation to review 180 Experiences That Will Strengthen Your Marriage by Dustin A. Wiggins. This book has been such a blessing and couldn’t have come into my life at a better time. My husband and I needed something that could help us overcome a few hurdles, to heal open wounds, and to rebuild our relationship. Before I start blabbing madly about why I love this book I want to introduce you to the author.

Dustin is a fierce advocate for strengthening family relationships. His insights to a happy marriage are published regularly through FamilyShare. He and his sweetheart live in Salt Lake City, where they are raising their two boys. The principles Dustin teaches have helped them keep that enthusiastic newlywed fire burning bright through two moves across the United States, a deployment to Afghanistan, unemployment and many other challenges of life. Dustin’s greatest desire is to help couples find the ultimate happiness that can be achieved within marriage no matter what your circumstances.

You can follow Dustin on Twitter, on Facebook, and you can buy his book at Amazon HERE.

Dustin is such a nice guy, marriage smart, down to earth, and we were so excited to work with him!

 As most of you know when you are struggling through hard stuff in your marriage it’s hard to see past the issues and just enjoy each other, to rekindle the flame, and to trust each other with your heart. I can tell you that in order for your marriage to work you need to do those things and PRAY a lot for guidance and inspiration. You need to let go of anger, resentment, and hurt in order to push through any difficult stage in your marriage. This book will help you do just that, not because Dustin preaches from one page to another about how to get along, on how to overcome your problems, or how to trust each other but because he makes you do it one experience at a time. There’s only one way to get into the cold water and that’s by jumping in, Dustin is pushing you in with 180 Experiences That Will Strengthen Your Marriage.

So, I know a few of you are thinking a few concerning questions…What, you don’t like being pushed in?!  No worries, it’s a gentle push! You don’t have time to read, no problem with this book. How do you get your husband to participate? It’s quite simple, really! What if you have an amazing marriage, we all can use a little tune up!

The book starts off with Level 1 Experiences that are going to gently push you together. The level gradually increases to Level 3 Experiences. You won’t find any rushing in these experiences. These experiences are going to help you reconnect, get back in the dating groove, spend quality time together, and open up. If you come to one that you’re not quite ready to do, lay the book aside and wait for the moment you are. Or even better don’t give yourself excuses, just push yourself in, you are stronger then you think, you can push forward!

The reading is very minor in this book. There is one paragraph explaining the experience and a single sentence affirmation per experience of reading for the two of you to do. We all have enough time for that! No time is wasted in reading paragraph after paragraph!  The part that will take time is doing the actual experience, which is the best part!

Your husband will be willing to participate in this book if he wants to make your marriage better, grow closer to you, and strengthen your marriage. Committing to 180 Experiences together needs to be a mutual effort, this is not a book you can read alone. Encourage him to take this plunge with you, tell him why it’s needed in your marriage, and explain why it is important that the two of you spend quality time together. When you speak from the heart, it is hard to say no. Also, tell him that these experiences were put together by a guy; guys know what other guys like! These experiences are going to be just as much fun for him as they will be for you too!  Still feeling iffy about getting your husband on board…Here’s what my hubby, Weston, has to say about these experiences:

This is a fun book to get you onto your feet and put your love into action. Dustin is real and knows how to connect with his readers. Sometimes guys just need a little direction with ideas on how to spend quality time with their wives, this book makes planning time together easy.  Our first two experiences in the book were finding and naming a star together.  It was simple and actually fun to find a star and then come up with a name we would both remember and agree on.  In a few experiences we wrote notes and expressed our love to each other. These experiences made me feel the warmth of our love grow in my heart and really feel like we have grown stronger together.

 A fun, interactive part of this book is that you share your experiences on a social media outlet. Bragging about your spouse in public, sharing your experiences, and posting pictures of the two of you having fun will be a positive experience for the both of you. Have you ever overheard your spouse saying good things about you to his friends or family? Isn’t that one of the best feelings ever? We all hope that our spouse says only the best things about us and this is the perfect chance to do just that! As you share your experiences and capture all your happy moments you will have plenty of moments to reflect on and enjoy now and in the future. So go ahead and brag away, your marriage needs it!

In order to keep your marriage amazing, you need to constantly progress together and continue to work on being amazing. It takes dedication, persistence, fun, forgiveness, understanding, honesty, and love to make a marriage awesome! The key to making a marriage lasting is to avoid plateaus and making it a team effort to reach for higher ground. Most of us want to create a marriage that is pretty darn perfect and you can’t do that by staying stagnant. You need to push forward, achieve greatness, become stronger, improve together, and learn to be the best spouse you can be in order to have a darn near perfect marriage. Spending more quality time together, serving each other, and putting your needs second are all experiences that you will focus on in this book and it will help you reach your ultimate goals together!

 Being a Diva, I couldn’t help but put a Diva twist to this experiences. I was seriously able to grab a Dating Diva post for each and every experience.  I am sharing a few of our Diva/180 Experiences with you, feel free to steal these for your experiences too!

  1. After 4 years of marriage recently we were face with extremely difficult circumstances including addiction and infidelity. Although it would have been easier to run away and give up we both felt God pushing us to let him restore our marriage. This morning I was praying for ways to grow closer to my husband and then I stumbled upon this post. Buying the book today – can’t wait to start applying it to our marriage. God is so good and gives us just the inspiration we need to keep going! Thank you Divas for being a part of that inspiration!

    1. Katie, you have touched my heart! I love tender mercies and the ways Heavenly Father answers our prayers! You are so right, Heavenly Father is good! I know you were guided and meant to find this post!

      I feel your struggle, pain, and heartache! I am in your shoes! I know how hard it is to walk down the path of restoring a broken marriage. There are days that feel easy and positive, then there are days that are constantly down in the dumps. Trust me the hard days become fewer and fewer as you continue to push through the tough days together, follow Heavenly Father’s guidance, figure out your “new normal”, and build up a solid foundation of trust, loyalty, and honor! You two can do this!!!

      I am so glad that you found this post and that you have bought the book! I am so thankful that you listened to the guidance you felt this morning. Continue to do so and you will both conquer and succeed! Please keep in touch with me, michelle@thedatingdivas.com. I can’t wait to hear about your transformation story, about how the book is helping, and about how you are doing!

      Thank you, thank you for your comment. You brightened my day! xox

  2. I would love this book to help strengthen the wonderful relationship I have with my husband!

    1. Adrie, I love that you are interested in continually growing an already good marriage! This should be the goal of every marriage! Enjoy! xox

  3. My husband and I have been married almost 20 years and it’s feels like we are two people living together. There is no dating, no fun times. I really feel like this book may help change our marriage. And bring us closer as a couple again. I have tried to get him to go on dates but he would rather stay home. I have tried at home dates and he is just no into it. We REALLY need help.

    1. Tami, give your hubby a swift kick from me, just kidding! A marriage takes two people working together, so I hope we can get him working! As long as your husband participates in this program the two of you will see success. I would highly recommend getting this book, reading The Five Love Languages together, signing up for our 7 Days of Love program, and becoming a part of our Marriage Masters Program in the community. We have so many tips and tricks to help you, to help your marriage, and to rekindle that spark!

      The hardest part of a marriage is having one spouse that is really focused on making the marriage work while the other isn’t. So I know this is tough for you! I’m going to suggest something that my seem unfair at first. Find out your husbands love language. Do something nice for him every day, even when you don’t feel like it. As you continue to learn to love him the way he wants to be loved, you will come to feel that spark again and you will bring back a connection. Try this for a month or two without letting him know what you’re doing and hopefully he will gradually start seeing this change and want to take a part in making your marriage a success! After these couple of months of serving him explain to him what your love language is and the things that he can do to make you feel loved. Good luck and keep in touch with me, michelle@thedatingdivas.com. I would love to hear how things are going and to help your marriage grow in any way possible! xox

  39. My husband and I are new parents (relatively anyways, our son is 14 months old) and the transition from a married couple to parents has not always been an easy one. This transition became even more difficult when I returned to work last spring and my husband’s work hours became less predicitable and longer. With all of the new demands on our time it has been difficult to make our marriage a priority. I’m looking for things, such as this book, that will help up connect on a deeper level again.

    1. Congratulations to you two! In order to participate in this book you two will need to make time for each other, which is just what you need. You two can do this! Best of luck to you two and enjoy that baby!!! xox

    1. Liz, you two will love this book. What I love is that you can’t do these experiences without his participation, so the two of you will be romancing and strengthening your marriage together! Enjoy! xox

  40. My husband and I have been through our fair share of ups and downs! We’re in a great place right now, and I love finding new information and ideas to fuel the fire! I consider it “preventive maintenance”. This book sounds like perfect material!

    1. Beth i am so glad you shared your experiences with us! When you’re struggling it is hard to realize that there is light at the end of the tunnel and you are proof that you can get there! You two will love this book because it will continue to help you both focus on each other and moving forward! Go get em girl! xox

  41. This Sounds Like A Wonderful Book To Get Weather Or Not You Are Struggling In Your Marriage Or Need Some Fun Ideas. I’ll Have To Add It To My Amazon Wishlist

    1. MIchelle, exactly! This book is a must for every marriage and is a very good price! Good luck! xox

  42. Dustin is my cousin and I’m so proud of him! I love how you gals have put your twist on it! 😉

    1. We love Dustin and his book! I think Dustin has been secretly stalking us and added experiences that would match up to all of our ideas, kidding! This was such a fun book review! xox

  43. “Spending more quality time together, serving each other, and putting your needs second are all experiences that you will focus on in this book…” It sounds like such a great resource!

  44. This sounds like an amazing book. I think everyone can always increase and strengthen their marriage.

  45. Since my husband came back from Afghanistan unable to walk or go back to his old job it has been rough waters. Things we used to enjoy we can’t do anymore. Even going out to eat is a challenge. The dating divas have been a lifesaver for our marriage. Thank you for this website

    1. Oh goodness Lauren! I don’t even know where to begin. You seem like such a positive girl and I am so glad that you have found us! I’m sending warm wishes your way and hoping the two of you see your way through these rough waters and find a new kind of normal. xox

  46. This is great! I will add it to my amazon cart so I don’t forget to buy it in case I don’t win! Lol! The military life is helping complicate our relationship and I am hopeful that we will find things to work on while still apart. Thanks!

    1. A huge thank you to you and your husband for your service!!! I love our military! There’s nothing like a long distance relationship to help complicate things! There are a few experiences in the book you two could easily do together, the rest you will have to make work for you. Best of luck to you both! xox

  47. Would love love love to win this! We have been married a month yesterday and I think it would be a great addition!!

  48. My husband and I’s 2 year anniversary is coming up and I would love to start our 3rd year off strong.

  49. I want this book because I think it would help my husband and I reconnect. We have been together 20 years and now that our children are practically grown (15,16,18) we have realized that we poured more energy into our children than in nurturing our own relationship.

  50. My marriage is falling apart and desperately needs to be rebuilt. After 17yrs, 5 kids, 3 cross-country moves, and numerous other highs and lows, I’m not willing to walk away without a fight. If this book can help in any way…I need it! 🙂

  51. My husband and I just got married six months ago so we’re working on building a great foundation for the rest of our lives together 🙂

  52. My husband and I read The Five Love Languages together when we were engaged, and it was such a great experience! This looks like such a fun book to work through together!! Thanks for offering the giveaway! 🙂

  53. This book sounds wonderful! I love reading and implementing advice from marriage books. My husband and I have read His Needs/Her Needs a great book! And now we are doing a study thru “Secrets To Lasting Love : Uncovering The Keys To Lifelong Intimacy- by Gary Smalley which is another amazing book! I really hope I win this book! I would love to go thru all of the 180 experiences with my hubby 🙂

  54. My husband and I have been together for almost 6 years married for almost two of those. We have two children under 2 and we work like crazy. He gets up before I do and comes home after I am asleep. I stumbled upon this sight while pinteresting ( is that a word?) and fell in love with all the ideas. I gave him one of the cards you had on the sight and he loved it when he opened his lunch and found it. This book seems like the perfect thing to make sure we continue to focus on each other and not let the rush of day to day life sweep us away as let’s face it it’s easy to do. Thanks so much for this site.

  55. My friend suggested this website two months ago. My husband and I of 5 years are struggling. Well, he doesn’t see it…but I feel it. I have done (or tried to do) one act of love every day this month using this site for inspiration. The great thing is it has turned the time I thought about my marrige in a negative way into thinking about it positivly. Planning for his little surprises the next day, or putting together the book of 100 reasons why I love you not only reminded me of what I loved about him, but got me excited to share these things. Sadly, I feel like my acts have gone unappreciated. I even did the 7 days of love and figured out his love language and I still feel like it is falling on deaf ears. I need help understanding.

  56. We’ll this came at just the right time. My hubby and I have been going through some struggles and I think we are both finally at the point to work on moving past them. I think this book would be perfect for us right now.

  57. Seems like a cute book. Would be nice to have this. I am a mother of 7 and my husband and I rarely get a date night. Something like would be great for us.

  58. I was reading this post and my husband was looking over my shoulder. He said, “You’re a hot tamale!” That’s reason enough for me. I’m definitely going to check out the book.

  59. I love your posts! I’d love to experiment with the book, we are always looking for ways to better our relationship!

  60. I am always looking for new things that help me better my marriage relationship every day and I would love to add this to the mix.

  61. I am always looking for fun ideas to do with my hubby and we have tried many things from your site, but I am always looking for more ways to say I love you.

    1. Jennie we are so glad you use all of our ideas to show your honey that you love him. You two will enjoy this book because not only will you be showing the love but he will too! xox

  62. This is just exactly what my marriage needs! Going through a rough patch ourselves…hope to win, if not I’ll be ordering a copy anyway!

    1. Jan, sorry to hear that! You are so right, this is exactly what you two need. There is light at the end of the tunnel, continue the fight, and enjoy this book! xox

  63. Thanks for sharing. Would love to hear more of your story. Sometimes just having the hope that we can conquer difficulties is a starting place. Hearing other people’s stories show us that there is hope and things can be overcome. Looks like a great book. Will have to check it out!

    1. Rebecca you are so right. Many of us struggle and think we are alone, that no else is possibly going through the same experiences we are, so we fight a winning or losing battle not knowing if we can endure. That is why I think it is so important to have a support group. We aren’t ever alone in our challenges, there are others that can help us by encouraging us, sharing how they overcame, and giving us support.
