Just Us: Finding Intimacy With God and Each Other

by David Stoop, Jan Stoop

Marriages have a better opportunity of thriving when couples spend time together with God. In Just Us , David and Jan Stoop provide just what couples need to make the most of the precious time they spend together seeking God. Each week’s devotions revolve around a specific theme. In just a few minutes each day, couples will focus on God’s view of marriage, how God blesses marriage, how to grow in love and intimacy, faithfulness, improving communication, resolving conflicts, the roles of husband and wife, building trust, forgiveness, the importance of prayer and how to have an intentional marriage. At the end of each devotion, couples will enjoy the “Talking Together” section with thought-provoking questions for the couple to discuss and further develop the theme or strengthen it in their marriage. By setting aside short daily times together each week, every couple has the opportunity to plant these themes deeper into their lives. What a gift for couples!

My church got my husband and I this book in August/September after our wedding in July this year {2012} and we went through all thirteen weeks of it together, reading a page each night during our devotionals. It was very good. A lot of what was in it we already knew though it was a good overview, some of the daily readings had really good points to them. I liked how it was laid out, with a Bible verse, the lesson, the Talking Together section, and a closing prayer. The 12th chapter, on forgiveness, kinda fell a bit flat though in the discussion questions which all seemed to be the same. Overall, a very good book. :)

This is a 13-week devotions and covers a diverse range of topics. The 'talking together' section can trigger good discussions if both spouse are committed to the journey.
