About this ebook
In this scrapbook of your spiritual family tree, you have the faithful patriarchs and matriarchs who make you proud…and the scoundrels who you’d rather not talk about. But all of these ancestors, Couples of the Bible, will give you a snapshot of your biblical heritage. Some bring encouragement, others offer a stern warning.
Through this 52-week devotional experience, you will be reacquainted with the obstacles and outcomes of familiar couples like Abraham & Sarah…and meet some lesser-known couples like Othniel & Aksah. Each week focuses on one couple of the Bible, from Adam & Eve to Christ & His Bride. You will read their story, learn about their cultural setting and explore how their story can teach you important truths about your own marriage. Each week you will be guided with questions applying biblical truth to your relationship with your spouse. And you’ll finish the week with a time of reflection, thanksgiving and prayer.
Couples of the Bible will teach you how God guided couples in the past and will encourage you to trust in his faithfulness for your marriage.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A unique one year devotional for couples all about couples found in the bible. I enjoyed the fact that these were not just the most well-known couples but a cross section of couples through out the bible. Each week is focused on one couple of the bible, each day a different subject regarding these couples. On Monday is a section called "Their Story" this gives a little history of the couple, the meaning of names, their character, their challenge, their outcome, and a key scripture. This is a time to study their story and what it means for you. On Tuesday is a section called "Their Life and Times" this brings into perspective what unique challenges they were facing, what was going on at that time in history. On Wednesday is the section "Can You Imagine" this allows the reader to contemplate certain challenges or blessings that each couple faced. On Thursday the section is "Their Legacy in Scripture" this breaks down what this couple has left behind for the following generations...I believe this to be a challenge to the present generation and those reading to aspire to leave a lasting legacy that shines Christ. Some of the couples studied fell far from this and therefor should be used as a lesson of what not to do. Friday is called a "Legacy of Prayer".
This is a wonderful opportunity for couples to further explore the word of God and the lasting impact that their marriage will have on the future generations. It is often difficult to find interesting and fun devotionals for couples to study together, this is one that fits the bill.
