Customer Reviews

A great guide to growing together in spiritual intimacy
As a newly married Christian couple, we had trouble finding a devotional for younger couples that dealt with issues we face. This book took a look at the first steps together as a couple in Christ and helped to blend us together into a team. Yet, the book helped us to remember that we are each individuals and to celebrate these differences. We are busy, and creating a time once a week was perfect for this book and our lifestyle. I would RECOMEND this book to anyone, but especially couples in the first ten years of marriage.

Great Discussion Guide
This is the only marriage/relationship book I've been able to make it through - and I look forward to it every week! We take turns reading a chapter to each other weekly, and in addition to the topics being very real to life/couple issues, the discussion questions give you an opportunity to better understand and learn about your spouse. We also like how each week it asks you to select a particular upcoming challenge we'd like our spouse to pray for us about, and a concrete kindness they can offer us - this really gets us in touch with what is going on with the other. Highly recommended!!

This is a great way to end the day together.
It's so easy to get too busy and forget to really TALK and CONNECT with each other. My husband and I find this book helpful because we can do one little section on the evenings we feel like it. After reading a section and talking through the questions, we have usually learned something new or been reminded of the important things in our life, our marriage and our spirituality.
