Lots of good stuff in this book. I think it's good for building a stronger marriage even for those couples who are not fighting a lot. I like that it is set up for a weekly devotion as it gives you time to focus and absorb on the lesson of the week. While I love me a good daily devotional sometimes I find it hard to really press into and mediate on the lesson, verse, etc because the next day you're on to something new. With the weekly set up it gives you time to mediate and practice what is on the pages. Each devotion has multiple activities listed in the back of the book that help foster and build on the lesson of the week. It is obvious the author is very knowledgable and has spent a lot of time creating this devotional.
Thanks to Netgalley and Zeitgeist for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I'm not married, however, I am in a long-term relationship and really enjoyed this devotional. I read it with my boyfriend and it was a great reminder to us both to keep God in the center of our relationship. With life being so busy, sometimes we forget this and then everything seems to fall apart slowly. We have now renewed our beliefs together and it has helped us tremendously!!
Pray More, Fight Less is a devotional for couples that is quick to read, yet has good ideas on how to connect with our spouse better. The devotions truly were short and quick to read but there were activities to do and good explanations for how to do those and I find those good.
I highly recommend this book to any couples of faith. I could easily see even a non-heterosexual couple being able to use these strategies and ideas in this book. It is well-written and will definitely bring you and your partner closer.
