Synopsis:
The wedding is planned, but are you spiritually prepared for your wedding day? Trusted relationship author Gary Thomas coaches engaged couples on how to grow closer to the Lord in the days leading up to the wedding as a means of preparing them for all the days after the wedding.
Engagement is bursting with promise, hope, joy, and anticipation of all kinds. It can also be one of the busiest times your life. For some, planning a wedding, with all the decisions involved, can feel less like the onset of marriage and more like a long to-do list. Amidst the busyness, this devotional is designed to help you think through the spiritual priorities and challenges that lie ahead in order to grow an outstanding marriage filled with love, grace, and God's blessing.
This lovely book provides encouraging entries that will help you deal with common issues such as:
- What real intimacy means
- How to celebrate your differences
- Remembering to laugh together
With a special section on the marriage vows and meditations for the bride and groom, Preparing Your Heart for Marriage will help you grow in your relationship as a couple as you become closer to God.My Rating:
This devotional book is split into three parts: God's plan for marriage, preparing for your vows and the wedding vows. I like that is broken down this way because it gives insight on each aspect prior to the wedding day. Each devotion is a couple of pages on insight on a topic and core scripture, contains a prayer and then discussion questions to really get the couple thinking about their lives together.
The discussion questions (questions for reflection) are what I truly love most from the book because it allows my fiance and I to really think about our lives as individuals coming into a marriage and as a couple. The questions really make you think. Their are a questions ranging from positive influences to sex in marriage to negative habits and more.
This is probably one of the best engaged couples devotionals I've ever seen and read. I truly love this book and all it offers. I also enjoy the black and white photos thrown through out the book. Great read and I highly recommend it!
