Psalm 90:12 – Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom as quoted together with a explanation and prompt questions in the chapter.
From the leading questions the following topics are explored.
-growing in intimacy;
– developing shared hobbies;
– improving spiritual intimacy in marriage
– understanding the different ways of giving and receiving love;
– becoming better listeners;
– making bucket lists;
– discussing finances and remembering how we decided on marriage
My thoughts
Reading through the book got me asking myself questions which I feel that I should too be asking myself about my own marriage. Even though we have been married for 12 years there are still many aspects of our marriage which we can still work on. We have been praying for each other but haven’t really sat down and prayed together as a couple.
It was really timely that I had receive this book to read. I have been thinking a lot of how to have a closer walk with GOD and within our marriage. This is one area which has been lacking and needs to be worked on. This is certainly a book all married couples should read together.

Hi Dominique,
Long time no see… I know I’ve been absent a bit this year with lots going on offline. I missed everyone and I’m glad to check in again. I think this book is both brilliant and timely. I love that it gives couples a question and bible verse to tackle each week. What a smart way to keep a couple conversing and praying over their lives. I like it and would recommend it to others. Hope all is well.
Cheers,
Eliz
PS. I noticed some changes on the doc… birthdays? What’s that about?

This book sounds like it would be very helpful for any married couple. It should be required reading LOL. My husband and I have been together for 21 years married for 19. We could definitely improve in some areas. Thanks for the find!
