family and relationships

I bought the book for me and my husband. We only got through 2 chapters. He didn't like it. If it was able to keep his attention, I would have given it 5 stars. Other than that, I liked it.

My wife and I went through this devotional book during our first year of marriage and we found it really helpful in building our relationship.

While it does have many references to child-raising, that didn't keep us from benefiting because it helped us think about some attitudes that we would like to change or develop before we have children.

I really like Dennis and Barbera's honesty about their own marriage. They don't come across as having solved everything. They still get mad at each other on occasion. That's refreshing.

Some of us who are a bit more conservative may find offense at some references to dancing and movies, but those are minimal and really do not detract from the whole of the book.

I would really suggest this for your first year of marriage.

We've enjoyed our Moments Together for over 3 years now. The lessons keep us talking about issues we would otherwise gloss over. Even after 14 wonderful years of marriage this book challenges us to keep growing closer to God and each other. Life always has something new to throw at us. This book helps tackle those.
The format is a page each day for a year. We don't let it bother us to be reading an April page in May. We just keep at it and enjoy the time strengthening our marriage.
