Devotions for a Sacred Marriage

This book is a great way to spend some time together with your spouse to develop a more God-centered marriage. It has brought new perspectives and views on issues that we wouldn't know otherwise (on our own). Definetly would recomend as a couple's activity. The devotions are short and sweet, perfect for a once-a-week study.

A Daily Spiritual Guide for Married Couples

My wife and I have had Marriage Problems, and after reading "Sacred Influence" by the same Author, we now read this Devotional book every day, and are getting a lot of help with our Relationship for our ongoing happiness. Both my wife and I highly recommend it to other couples!

Great Devotional!

My Husband and I enjoy this practical and beneficial devotional that is solidly founded on God's Word.

Wonderful devotional for married couples

My husband and I heard the author speak at our church (he was great) and picked up the devotional when we were there. We like it so much that I now order a copy to give as a gift every time I am invited to a bridal shower or wedding. This book focuses on God's word and gives couples a new way of looking at marriage. As the book says, we need to think about marriage not as a way to make ourselves happy, but as a way to grow closer to God as we love our spouses through the covenant of marriage.

Excellent for marriage and spiritual growth

Reading this devotional, I don't know which improved more--the depth of my marriage or the depth of my walk with God. Plowing through the dailiness of maintaining marital vows, I was reminded that our commitments at home (reinforced in Devotions for Sacred Parenting as well) are the venue for some of God's best refining work in our lives. The entries are a perfect length for a weekly devotional--although I often felt compelled to read ahead because of the quality of the original material the author produced for this book.
