1) Paperback Book Devotions For Dating Couples: Building A Foundation For Spiritual Intimacy by Thomas Nelson. While trying to develop a pattern of ´doing the devotions´ and spiritual intimacy, my fiance and I decided to give this book a shot. It was readily available and seemed to cover all of the bases.
I for one was slightly disappointed. Growing up in the church and having a personal relationship with God since a young age, I felt that the daily lessons were lacking in depth. Maybe great for a younger couple who are just starting out on their spiritual journeys, but I found myself saying ´okay, that was it?´ and wanting more.
In the book´s defense, I must say that as an engaged couple we may not be the target audience. This book did spark some good discussion and definitely helped to instill the need of doing a devotinal every single day. We were both just disappointed with the lack of true depth for a more mature relationship.¤ 2) Paperback Book Devotions For Dating Couples: Building A Foundation For Spiritual Intimacy by Thomas Nelson. My girlfriend and I had been dating about 4 months when we decided to start having devotions together. We knew that we wanted to start a spiritual journey together as a couple and this book really helped us get started. Although some of the content is pretty basic and common sense, especially if you have been a Christian for a while, the book still provides great opportunities for sharing and discussing biblical material regarding Love, Community, Simplicity, Prayer, Forgiveness, and Purity. I think it is an excellent tool to begin a spiritual walk with your partner. After going through this devotional book, we feel so comfortable opening up to talk and pray about God´s plan for our future, and that´s the first step to a blessed and fulfilling life together!¤ 3) Paperback Book Devotions For Dating Couples: Building A Foundation For Spiritual Intimacy by Thomas Nelson. My girlfriend and I did this one together. It´s alright, but not great. if you´re in a relationship and are looking for something to connect you spiritually with your s.other, then read this. Don´t expect anything life changing though.¤ 4) Paperback Book Devotions For Dating Couples: Building A Foundation For Spiritual Intimacy by Thomas Nelson. My Boyfriend and I are almost through this study, and we have learned a lot about God, and about each other through it. It is great doing something like this together and being able to keep each other accountable. I recommend this to any dating couple who wants to grow closer to God and to each other!¤ 5) Paperback Book Devotions For Dating Couples: Building A Foundation For Spiritual Intimacy by Thomas Nelson. While some complain about the lack of depth in conversation questions, I would call it an opportunity for free discussion. Because the questions are rather general, one feels much more free to allow the conversation to wander from the original topic, providing more insight into the beliefs and backgrounds of your dating partner.
As far as the format, there is simply nothing else out there. We looked hither and yon for an individual bible study with weekly couple components. This is it.¤ 6) Paperback Book Devotions For Dating Couples: Building A Foundation For Spiritual Intimacy by Thomas Nelson. Today, there is a great deal of emphasis on the mystical and intangible nature of relationships but very little emphasis on the real, practical steps involved in building an enduring love. In contrast, authors Ben Young and Sam Adams place great importance on the value of spiritual compatibility in Devotions for Dating Couples. Designed especially for highly committed or engaged couples, it helps readers: Understand and avoid the most common barriers to spiritual growth Have an increased desire for fellowship with God Share and explore spiritual issues together Pursue godliness, personal relational health, and wholenessEach of the nine sections includes Scripture quotations, suggested meditation passages, and discussion questions, as well as anecdotes from real people including the authors. Intended as an eight-week study, weekday devotions are to be completed by both individuals, and each weekend study is to be completed together as a couple. ¤Page Updated: Robert N.
