Synopsis

This book offers a year's worth of short, daily devotional readings written specifically for couples. Designed primarily for married couples of all ages, the meditations are brief enought to be read in just a few minutes, yet detailed enough to spark meaningful conversation. Each day's meditation includes a focus Scripture verse from a mix of translations, including NIV, and NRSV, a brief reading, a prayer, and a "Talk it Over" feature that includes questions to discuss and/or ideas to try.
