If any couples out there are looking for good couples devotional books, a definate MUST READ is The Love Dare, a Day by Day Couple's Devotional by Stephen and Alex Kendrick.. I like this devotional personally because it is all about the "love" in your relationship and how to love so many different things in so many different ways. We've all been there when we need some help, cant make ends meet, have too much stress, don't know how to get our needs met, and think we cant go on. I have the page marked and read this one devotional anytime that Im feeling like I want to give up or Im lost and it always makes things seem sooo much better...
My favorite devotional so far is day 197 and it applies not only to couples but to everything in life in general! Thought I would share for the day! :)

Day 197
Love Delights in God
"Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires." - Psalm 37:4
Do you trust God to supply what you need? When we are seeking Him first, loving Him first, and making our relationship with Him top prioritym He promises to supply us with what we really need. When He is our true delight, we come to realize the inadequacy of every other subsitute.
Jesus once spoke to a woman at a Samaritan well, a woman who had tried getting her needs met through a string of failed relationships. With both her life and her water bucket empty, she had come to this place broken and hardened. But in Christ, she found what He called "living water" (John 4:10)- a supply that wasnt just for quenching temporary thirst. What He offered her was a drink of soul satisfaction that never quits giving and refreshing.
This is what's available to you, no matter who your spouse is or what they've done to you. God is your everyday supply- ov EVERYTHING that you need.
