Two as One: Connecting Daily with Christ and Your Spouse by Ryan Frederick & Selena Frederick of Fierce Marriage is a marriage based devotional that is aimed at helping spouses connect with each other and Jesus. This devotional was fairly decent and my wife and I enjoyed going through it.
There were some issues with it though. The copy editor of the Kindle edition needs to re-edit this book. The Kindle edition is filled with spelling typos, grammar and syntax issues. At times, this was a stumbling block to completing the devotional. Sometimes the devotional had to be read a second time before it made sense. This severely impacted the experience.
Overall, this was a great marriage devotional that will help you and your spouse connect on a deeper level. I highly recommend it but warn you the Kindle edition may not be the best version due to the spelling, grammar and syntax issues.

This book actually started out as a series of Instagram posts. The Fredericks then turned them into a 30-day day devotional with the intent of helping couples connect daily with one another and Jesus. Each day consists of an inspirational image/quote, a few short paragraphs centered around that specific theme, and two relevant discussion questions, followed by a space for written prayers.
Some of the images are extremely powerful. The devotional thoughts are short and sweet, but not too “surface-y”. So often I find Christian marriage devotionals cheesy and irrelevant to couples living in the real world, but the Fredericks do a great job of addressing some real issues and connecting them to spiritual/heart issues in a few short sentences. My husband mentioned he would have liked them to dive deeper into many of these areas, and I agree. (But alas, Instagram has a word limit!) I think most of the discussion questions can actually lead to thoughtful conversation, but I find it unlikely that couples will write out their prayers in the same book. That aside, I really enjoyed this little devotional and have recommended it to several friends.
