Marriage Challenge: Read a Daily Devotional Together
Every married couple should consider reading a daily devotional together. I highly recommend The One Year Love Language Minute Devotional by Gary Chapman. Last year Holly and I tried to read it together every night. Though we missed many nights, the book still helped us tremendously in our marriage. We’re reading it together again this year.
Each page is a short devotional—one for every day of the year. Beneath the day’s date at the top of the page, a Bible passage is quoted followed by a few paragraphs that make one simple marriage application. At the bottom is a short prayer asking for God’s help to put the lesson into practice. I love this format and find the content very practical and digest-able.
The book will take all the guesswork out of your daily marriage devotionals and will strengthen your relationship with your spouse. I challenge you to purchase the book and commit to reading it together with your spouse this year, one day at a time.
