This book was really disappointing, to be honest. There were some good tidbits and advice, but most of it seemed to be written by people who already had a perfect life and relationship.
We were almost halfway through and I asked my husband, "Do these people have kids?" We were sure they couldn't if they were doing half the things they spoke about....and then all of a sudden "BAM!" they started talking about kids. It would have been so helpful to have workarounds for the activities at the end of each day for those who have children.
Also, they say that money doesn't have to be used much...but a lot of what they suggest requires money. Money for a sitter. Money to drive somewhere because your town is too small for "new experiences". Money for dinner. Money for surprise gifts.
It's just not realistic for a lot of couples.
But, I guess it did bring my husband and me closer together because we would read our sections and then laugh at how ridiculous some of it was.
This wouldn't be a horrible read for newlyweds to read in order to know how to keep the spark going. But as a homeschooling mom of three small children with no options for sitters at the moment, this was not realistic.

Pretty fun, and some good little devotionals along with a few of the chapters. I took it more seriously at the beginning and began skipping stuff at the end because of my energy levels. 😛
I'd say either struggling or thriving marriages could probably find helpful ideas or just fun challenges to break them out of repetition... the 50 date ideas at the end look fun.

3.8⭐️ This was good. It definitely had some good points and tips, but the majority of it felt pretty surface-level. I think I was hoping for something more like the notebook from the movie Fireproof.
My husband and I are currently stationed apart for the military, which is why we finally started this series together in the first place. Unfortunately, a lot of the challenges could only be done in person, so it was disappointing to miss out on so many of them.

Not really a fan. If you’re looking for help in a marriage, you don’t want to hear how hokey and perfect another couple is. It’s not relative. Half the days passages actually made me angry-opposite the desired reaction.

Because the challenges in this book are so lighthearted and presented with zero theological depth, I would not recommend this to anyone looking to help a struggling marriage, as I have seen it advertised for. I would however, recommend this book to any couple looking to deepen their understand of pursuit together. Although the pursuits sometimes felt a bit “silly” or “forced”, they were nonetheless a sweet reminder of the joy that it is to pursue one another, and of the diversity and creativity that should come with this. Overall, this book sparked our creativity with one another, and helped us to grow to know one another better in a newlywed season.

This book was a great devotional book to do with my husband. As a mom of 4 sometimes making my husband is not a "priority" this book helped me incorporate things in out every day life to make our relationship better! The pursuits for each day was helpful for creating a "date" in the day for each of us. As long as we stayed on track we were both working together towards a better marriage. Would recommend this book to anyone who may need a daily dose of God's word and help creating a more intimate relationship through easy pursuits towards each other.

My husband and I did the 31 day challenge together and we enjoyed it! Some of the challenges are not practical when you are in the baby/toddler season of life, but otherwise it was a lot of fun and helpful to go through these books together.

Awesome book!!!
This book was fantastic. My husband did the husband’s pursuit as well and it has brought us so much closer together and really pursuing each other in new and fun ways.

I actually couldn’t finish this devotional. It didn’t feel authentic, it felt forced.

Learning To Love Again
The roommate phase hit real hard, plus having two young kiddos doesn't help. This book helped my husband and I pursue each other again.
