On your wedding day, you did not receive a step-by-step guide on how to keep that “I do” feeling going until death do you part. You probably didn’t realize the work it would take to keep a “we” instead of a “me” mindset. Even worse, as the years have gone by, you may have developed a bad attitude, become inattentive to your spouse’s needs, and even pushed them away. In this insightful, practical daily devotional, Donna Pryor shares a blueprint to prepare for an upcoming marriage, improve an existing marriage, or to repair past damage. Each reading concludes with the same questions: • What do you hear God saying to you? • What do you want to say to God? • What is one thing your spouse did yesterday that you appreciated? • What did you do yesterday to show your spouse that you loved him or her? Filled with a mixture of Scriptures and personal observations, this guide urges you to progress into a godly marriage with a spouse who shares your values – while revealing wisdom to help you do it.
