Rating:  Summary: Only for parents... Review: My husband and I have been reading this book since the beginning of the year and it has been very helpful to us. We have decided, though, to put it on the shelf until we have children. A good percentage of the devotionals in this book focuses on relationships with your children, child-rearing, etc. We simply cannot relate with these topics yet. Otherwise, it is a great book. I would not recommend this book to couples without children or to those who have an empty nest!
Rating:  Summary: If you want reality, read this book. Review: My husband and I just started this book a week ago. It has already helped us to take an in-depth look at ourselves, our marriage and our relationship with God. If you are ready to face some truth, read this book. If you are looking for a book that tells you only what you WANT to hear, it's not for you.

Rating:  Summary: Title Contrary to Content Review: My husband purchased this book so that we could both spend time for devotional reading in efforts to build and maintain a stronger marriage; only to find that the book was 'really' written for couples who have children; hence, the misleading book title. Needless to say, we were rather disappointed. In addition, the author seems to have grabbed Bible verses at random, then writes examples based on, not only his, but his family's experiences....and the vast majority of the verses he used had NOTHING to do with his stories. This is a book more geared to families; however, I'd caution this recommendation due to the randomly selected Bible verses.
Rating:  Summary: An Excellent Devotional Book Review: My wife and I went through this devotional book during our first year of marriage and we found it really helpful in building our relationship. While it does have many references to child-raising, that didn't keep us from benefiting because it helped us think about some attitudes that we would like to change or develop before we have children. I really like Dennis and Barbera's honesty about their own marriage. They don't come across as having solved everything. They still get mad at each other on occasion. That's refreshing. Some of us who are a bit more conservative may find offense at some references to dancing and movies, but those are minimal and really do not detract from the whole of the book. I would really suggest this for your first year of marriage.
Rating:  Summary: Realistic Biblical practical help for any marriage. Review: We've enjoyed our Moments Together for over 3 years now. The lessons keep us talking about issues we would otherwise gloss over. Even after 14 wonderful years of marriage this book challenges us to keep growing closer to God and each other. Life always has something new to throw at us. This book helps tackle those. The format is a page each day for a year. We don't let it bother us to be reading an April page in May. We just keep at it and enjoy the time strengthening our marriage.
