Her childhood best friend and now husband was being anointed the hottest new star in country music\u2014for a song he had written about\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">her.\u00a0<\/span>He was living his dream. Lauren was elated, but she was also wrestling with some big questions, not the least of which was,\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">How can I live my own life of purpose?<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\nLauren Akins never wanted to be in the spotlight, but as Thomas Rhett made his relationship with Lauren the subject of many of his hit songs, she was tossed into the role of one of America\u2019s sweethearts. Revered by fans for her down-to-earth ease and charm, her commitment to humanitarian work, and the pure love she exudes for her family, Lauren has never shared her side of their story\u2014full as it\u2019s been with deep love, painful loss, tremendous joy, and a struggle to stay grounded in faith along the way\u2014until now.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">Live in Love,<\/span>\u00a0Lauren shares details about her childhood friendship with Thomas Rhett, explaining how they reconnected as young adults. She offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of being married to her best friend, who just happens to be a music star, and the struggle to find her own footing in the frenzy of her husband\u2019s fame. And in heart-wrenching detail, she opens up about her life-changing experiences doing mission work in Haiti, and then in Uganda, where she met the precious baby who would become their first daughter. From sharing the romance of their handwritten wedding vows to\u00a0the challenges they faced\u00a0as they adjusted to the reality of becoming first-time parents,\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">Live in Love\u00a0<\/span>takes an intimate look at one couple\u2019s life\u2014and opens a window into all of our journeys on the path to self-discovery.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-italic\">Live in Love<\/span>\u00a0is a deeply personal memoir that offers inspiring guidance for anyone looking to keep romance alive, balance children and marriage, express true faith, and live a life of purpose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25373\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/52181208-live-in-love\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/52181208-live-in-love<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25625\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Live-Love-Growing-Together-Through\/dp\/0593129040\/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gWcracAGjwQB2BywwMKt00WFlWv0Nb0cK6CefIvl9EDGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.zXHCgPUmD6MuR5B22NrWILilb_TkEM5DAEaADZwTS04&amp;qid=1763829053&amp;sr=1-1\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Live-Love-Growing-Together-Through\/dp\/0593129040\/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gWcracAGjwQB2BywwMKt00WFlWv0Nb0cK6CefIvl9EDGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.zXHCgPUmD6MuR5B22NrWILilb_TkEM5DAEaADZwTS04&amp;qid=1763829053&amp;sr=1-1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dee.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25380\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dee.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dee.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dee.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dee.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twinsie Dee review<\/p>\n<p>I bought this book and here is my honest review.<\/p>\n<p>my whole life I&#8217;ve been a fan of the Akins&#8217; family. Rhett Akins was a staple in my childhood that when Thomas Rhett was becoming a star and playing on the radio it was great but now even though she didn&#8217;t like being in the spotlight, Lauren was now in the spotlight so when she wrote a book of course I was going to read it. Lauren gives her light and love for the lord, shows the behind the scenes of how hard life gets and how great it is when you can put your life in the lords&#8217; hands. from losing a friend from childhood, marriage, mission trips, adoption and pregnancy Lauren doesn&#8217;t hold back. this was a great book and listing to it as Lauren and Thomas Rhett narrated made it even better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25626\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lauren Akins is a devoted mother, wife, and philanthropist who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband, country superstar Thomas Rhett, and their four girls.
