Description
We Are One (22,200 words) – This 31-day devotional is for couples who want to enrich their marriages. I developed this devotional series so that spouses can read one devotional each day for 31 days. But to make the most of this marriage journey, it would be better if you slowed your pace so you have time to reflect, discuss, and apply the material to your life and marriage adequately. Each devotion is the equivalent of a homework assignment that needs time for thorough application. At the end of each short devotion is a section for you to contemplate the questions provided, plus a practical suggestion for you to implement into your marriage.
Transformation is rarely like flipping a switch and moving on to the next thing. Interrelationship challenges and opportunities are reciprocal, give-and-take moments where conversations ensue and continue over days and weeks. If the hurt is deep or the offense is heavy, you may need time to change completely. These devotionals are short sprints, but your marriage is a marathon. Be deliberate, well-paced, and consistent. We Are One—A 31-Day Marriage Devotion is a toolbox that will help you change while enhancing your marriage. As you peruse these short chapters, perhaps the Spirit of God will highlight one over the other. There may be a particular need you should address today. Start at the best place for you rather than at the beginning.
Maybe you’re not married but hope to be soon. This devotional is the perfect premarriage book. What better time to work on your future marriage and the inevitable problems than before you have them? Remember your small group friendships, too. Doing this devotion in the context of friends adds the benefit of courageous and compassionate accountability.
