This book is just what the couple on the go needs. I never would have believed that my husband would actually enjoy reading with me, but this book includes something for the husband and the wife. It takes less than 10 minutes each night and it makes a lasting impression on each of you. It is based on the bible, but puts the ideas into ways that they may be implemented in daily life. We are in the early stages in the book and we can both tell a difference in our attitudes toward our marriage and our family. I can't wait to get further into the book!

My husband and I have gone through a lot of trials and I was looking for items that would enhance our ability to be intimate and to improve our communication (men love that!). This book was one of those tools - we read from it nightly. In part, the time together is very bonding, and it brings up many things we would probably not have thought to discuss. The stories are real without being overly sentimental (mostly), and my husband says he could relate to them and that he has really enjoyed most of them. We have found it a good way to unwind from our hectic days and rejoin our coupleship. I have started giving this book to my friends who are getting married. I feel it's part of why our marriage is improving.

But they need to read it together. The beauty of this book isn't really the messages in the devotionals, it's the questions the book includes to ask yourself and your mate. The conversations this book inspired are worth every penny of the cost of the book, and the time it took to read it :)
