Love & War - Devotional for Couples (John and Stasi Eldridge)

Because of what my husband and I have gone through in our 20 years together, I like reading marriage books.  I like to know what other couples are saying about the good times as well as the not-so-good times.  John and Stasi Eldridge’s “Love & War Devotional for Couples” is a great resource for any couple at any stage of marriage.  It holds eight weeks of daily devotions for growing and reflection in marriage.  Each week is a new subject, like Remembering What We Wanted and Your Spouse Is Not Your Enemy.  While these seem like things we should always remember, sometimes it takes seeing them on a printed page for them to make the connection in our brain.  In the week entitled Your Spouse Is Not Your Enemy, we are reminded that we are supposed to be fighting FOR each other, not fighting WITH each other. There are relevant Bible verses throughout the book and prayers at the end of each day’s reading.  The Eldridge’s are well-spoken and heart-felt authors, and this book would be a great tool for any marriage in any season.  It would be a great wedding present, counseling tool, or anniversary gift.  It would also be a fantastic addition to your personal library.  I’m grateful to have this book, and I fully expect that I will use it in my marriage.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
