Meaningful conversations are not always easy to initiate, even for Christian couples. Conversations for Couples: Once-A-Week Devotionals gives busy couples a wonderful tool for starting conversations that increase their intimacy with God and with each other. Because the devotionals are only once-a-week, setting aside the time is more realistic than a daily plan. Each week, a Scripture-based topic from the Bible is presented by the author. Following the Bible verses and devotional, a short list of questions is furnished for the couple to answer. These questions draw out the thoughts of each partner on the subject, may tap into any previous Bible knowledge on the subject (though not necessary), and often ask questions about how opinions were formed from childhood or more recently. Even couples who know one another well, may find this an interesting way to learn about one another's spiritual development or current take on particular verses. The book offers 52 devotionals, one for each week of the year, to bring you into a deeper relationship with the Lord and with each other. Seasons and holidays are the special focus of some of the readings to prepare your heart and keep Him at the center of those hectic times. Every calendar year is different, but those special devotionals occur in close proximity to the dates of each holiday. Packed with Scripture and brief stories of God at work in real lives, the devotions give you glimpses of God every week so you can understand His ways better and begin to know authentically who the God of the universe really is. Seeking answers in God's Word will strengthen and beautify your marriage. You will use this book the way that blesses you the most-personally and as a couple. You design the best way to spend time with God and each other that fits your schedules and your preferences. To get the most out of each conversation, take into account who is a morning person and who is toast at the end of a work day. For most couples, reading the devotionals separately and then choosing a time and day of the week to discuss is the most popular choice. As a couple, you will get to know a God who is full of surprises, full of Grace, and full of the power that He longs to put to use in your life and in your marriage. This God of unexpected twists and turns makes living life with Him a nonstop adventure because He is the God with the capital "G" that you may have been wondering about. Whether you want to know Him more intimately or just wa
