Rating:  Summary: Start your 45 minutes here Review: Did you know that experts recommend 45 minutes of meaningful conversation daily between husband and wife? Apparently that is the amount of time which helps keep spouses together emotionally and spiritually, and which keeps a marriage strong. My wife and I have read and shared a devotional from this Dennis Rainey book every night for more than two years. We read one just before turning "lights out." Sometimes we're so exhausted from our days that we read it, mutter something quick, pray something even quicker, and fall asleep. Other times we read it, and it sets us up for an hour long conversation, in which we really get insight into our complementary perspectives. The insights are important but sometimes I forget them, too. I think the real benefit comes from the process that we have adopted, the habit of ending our day together. And we have enjoyed Dennis and Barbara Rainey's writings. They are transparent in sharing their lives with their readers, and we have been moved many times by their stories.

Rating:  Summary: Good, but not for couples in trouble Review: I bought the book for me and my husband. We only got through 2 chapters. He didn't like it. If it was able to keep his attention, I would have given it 5 stars. Other than that, I liked it.

Rating:  Summary: This book must've been written in 1950 Review: I bought this book hoping to develop a stronger 3-way relationship, God, my husband, and myself. Instead, I got an insulting book. This is not about "marriage" - its about 1950's values....the woman should become pregnant almost immediately, have sex with her husband whenever he desires it, and have no male friends, because that would be cheating. Haven't these people seen that the man and the woman in marriage are EQUALS....with the "relationship" they present, the man gets all he wants and the woman is left with nothing. Do yourself a favor and save your money - unless you feel like being smacked in the face by insulting values, don't buy this book.

Every couple should share these devotionals with each other from 5 to 30 minutes each day. You'll soon find yourself drawing closer to our heavenly father and to each other.
Rating:  Summary: Best for couples with kids Review: My husband and I have a great relationship, and we are always looking for encouraging devotionals to build us up, and even convict us in areas we need it. This one is ok, but highly geared toward couples with kids. We have only found a few devotionals that focus on the couple with out children, or make the couple the priority of the book. This one does not fit into that category. My husband and I thought it would be better titled for "Moments together for couples with children" since so much of the book focus on that are of a couples relationship.
