Marriage Devotional Bible

You want your marriage to be the best and it can be--strong in commitment, caring in communication, joyous in lovemaking, united in vision. Above all, you want it to be grounded in faith. Whether you're celebrating your fifth or twenty-fifth anniversary, if you long for deep, satisfying intimacy with God and with your mate, the Marriage Devotional Bible is for you. David and Claudia Arp, Robert and Rosemary Barnes, and Les and Leslie Parrott offer more than professional knowledge. They've worked out in their own marriages the truths they share with you in the Marriage Devotional Bible. The 260 daily devotions by these three couples show firsthand how God's Word intersects with the realities and rewards of marriage. And 52 weekend devotions help you and your mate connect through the "Weekend Warmup" questions for discussion. Other features include "Couples in the Bible" (both good and bad), book introductions, "Just Between You and Me" questionnaires, and--best of all--God's word in the best-selling New International Version text. If you're ready for new growth and depth in your marriage, now is the time to make it happen. Take this Bible home with you and discover that your future together can be even better than your past.
