From Amazon.com: Rising divorce rates inspired Dr. James Dobson, founder and president of Focus on the Family, and his wife, Shirley, to author a devotional for couples in an attempt to strengthen the marriages of younger generations. Night Light: A Devotional for Couples contains six months of daily devotions stemming from the Dobsons' 40 years of marriage experience. Beginning on Sunday, an inspirational story addresses a relevant theme, such as communication, money, forgiveness, or conflict resolution, which is expounded upon throughout the devotions for that week. Scripture, probing questions, and short anecdotes encourage intimacy between the couple in an attempt to ward off stagnation and habitual laziness in spiritual growth. While the questions and suggestions will affect every couple differently, this devotional stimulates conversation about weighty issues of the heart and turns the head toward what matters for eternity. Knowing that most couples are too exhausted by the end of the day to analyze every facet of their marriage, however, the Dobson's have crafted the devotions to be completed within 10 minutes. One would expect this to be most helpful for newlyweds, but it is a revitalizing aide for those who have had poor communication throughout their marriage or are looking to refocus their marriage on Christ. Night Light is a wonderful way to set your mind on the Lord before turning out the light and for drawing closer to your mate in the process. --Jill Heatherly
Thank God for this book!: This book is a great way to air out little frustrations (or big ones) that bug you or your spouse. It brings up situations and tells stories that are about every day marriage. It's discussion points allow you to talk to eachother about serious subjects without being hurtful or abrasive. My husband and I love this and it has honestly brought us closer. We now talk about things that I have never thought we would be talking about. The prayers at the end of each day are great as well...I appreciate my spouse more and more every day because this book is showing us how!
My husband and I have bought this for many new couples.: My husband and I love this book, we have read it together several times, and always give it as a wedding gift to every wedding we attend. It may not be as in depth as some marriage devotionals, but it is an encouragement, and makes you appreciate your spouse a little more each time you read it. My husband and I have a wonderful relationship, and sometimes it is very hard to read devotionals that are always talking about sadness, dispare, and dread. This is a pick me up compared to so many others. It is also a great devotional for couples with out children. We do not have any children, and some devotionals every other page discusses how children effect your relationship. This one does not focus there quite as much. It is more directed toward you and your spouse.
Great tool for putting God first in your marriage: This book has helped me and my spouse in our Christian walk. If you're looking for a tool that will only take a few minutes each day but will definitely bring you together-this is it.
Excellent devotional for couples: We both enjoyed this devotional book. It forced us to think about important issues and drew us closer to God and to each other. It is one of the best devotional books for couples we have found. I would definitely recommend it!
Every Christian Couple Should Read This: But they need to read it together. The beauty of this book isn't really the messages in the devotionals, it's the questions the book includes to ask yourself and your mate. The conversations this book inspired are worth every penny of the cost of the book, and the time it took to read it :)
