Our Best Life Together: A Daily Devotional For Couples

Our Best Life Together: A Daily Devotional For Couples by Joel & Victoria Osteen is full of scripture, lessons, and prayers designed to bring you closer together - both as a couple and in your relationship with God.

Covering topics ranging from child rearing to financial prosperity, this book utilizes personal examples and Biblical stories to provide five readings a week for a full year of physical, spiritual, and emotional growth and reflection. I really appreciate that each day ends in a personal prayer that compliments that day's lesson and helps you to keep Jesus in focus as you work on expanding and improving your relationship.

Declaration pages of relationship affirmations are scattered throughout the book and can provide a quick a potent reminder of the goals and assets along your journey as a couple. Overall, I'd recommend this book for couples seeking to promote their bond with each other while getting closer to God. It would also be okay to read it in solitude, with the intention of utilizing the insights gained in your personal relationship while growing in communion with God.

I would not recommend this book for anyone enduring a marriage of intense or profound hardship, or suffering from an unequally yoked marriage where their partner is an adversary in their walk with God. This is not a book for couples that find themselves at odds with each other frequently, or those looking for ways to salvage a seemingly broken relationship. For those relationships that are already struggling in these ways, I fear that this book may just lead to more strife and personal feelings of rejection or inadequacy.

Overall, I believe this could be a great asset when used a tool to improve and connect in an already blossoming relationship. 4/5 stars.
