Marriage

A 30-day devotional for couples

Thirty short readings for husbands and wives to work through together. Each day gives you a passage, an honest reading about real marriage, questions to talk through out loud, one small challenge for that night, and a prayer. There is no schedule and nothing to sign up for. Do one when you can, keep your own place, and pick back up wherever you left off.

30 daysSelf paced

How to use this

Do one day together whenever you can. Read the passage out loud, read the devotional, then talk through the questions and pray. It takes about fifteen minutes if you are moving, and longer if a question opens something up. Let it.

There is no schedule and nothing to keep up with. Some couples do one a night, some do one a week. Keep your own place the way you would a bookmark in a book, and pick back up wherever you left off.
