Awaited: An Advent Devotional for Catholic Couples
Are you ready to make of yourselves a gift? Join Spoken Bride marriage ministries on an honest, revealing path to the manger this season. Advent invites us into the very start--the heart--of the nuptial mystery. Beginning with one woman's yes, her promise of fidelity and trust in the works of the Lord, we journey to Bethlehem with the Holy Family in anticipation of the one who came, so humbly, to give of Himself in the flesh and fulfill the promise of all generations. Written to invite engaged and married couples into deeper relationship in the Advent season, to consider their own vows and their identity as a new family, Awaited offers a uniquely rich, discussion-based approach to the season through the lens of married love. Together with your beloved you'll delve into the Scriptures, into modes of prayer ancient and new, and into daily conversations centered on preparing your home, your hearts, and your marriage for the coming of the Bridegroom. Wait in hope. The Awaited One--He who will transform our marriages and our lives --is near.

The book Awaited is an exceptionally beautiful book for couples during the Advent season.
The intention of the authors to “draw you deeper into conversation with one another and with God” is definitely fulfilled. Couples will learn more about each other and God, The Awaited One.
The authors have skillfully designed the book in such a way that you savor the pilgrimage of preparing and praying together as a couple during Advent.
Each week and each day has a particular theme:
● Week 1: Preparing your home
● Week 2: Preparing your family
● Week 3: Preparing your marriage
● Week 4: Preparing your hearts
Each day, you delve into a theme such as “A Place of Encounter,” What Has Brought You to this Moment,” “Traditions,” and “Trust,” along with a bible passage to reflect on.
The Awaited devotional guides couples on how to pray with Lectio Divina, Ignatian Meditation, and Visio Divina. The book is not only for reflection, but also an aid to putting faith into action. After each reflection, there is a section entitled “Act” with suggestions to act upon.
The Awaited devotional is magnificent. If you are to choose only one book for Advent as a couple, this is it. It is a book you will treasure throughout the years.
