Publisher's summary

Welcome to the story of a real marriage. Marriage is simultaneously the biggest blessing and the greatest challenge two people can ever take on. It is the joy of knowing there is someone to share in your joys and sorrows, and the challenge of living with someone who thinks it’s a good idea to hang a giant antelope head on your living room wall. In The Antelope in the Living Room, New York Times bestselling author and blogger Melanie Shankle does for marriage what Sparkly Green Earrings did for motherhood - makes us laugh out loud and smile through tears as she shares the holy and the hilarity of that magical and mysterious union called marriage.

Newlywed

As newlyweds, we loved listening to this while roadtripping across the northwest for our honeymoon, complete with "Just Married" on the vehicle's back windows with window markers. Thank you for the realness and laughter!

Great listen for married couples!

My husband and I LOVED this book! We enjoyed it so much! We listened together on our cross country road trip! Made the time pass quickly! We looked forward to hitting play again after our brief stops.
We laughed, we teared up together, and we related!! Thank you Melanie!!!

Another fabulous book

I only recently discovered Melanie Shankle, and this is the third book I've finished. It is a great collection of stories about real marriage and relationships with some good laughs and maybe a few tearful moments. I love that she continuously brings everything back to the root of scripture. Very entertaining... I highly recommend this book. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do when I finish all of her books!
