Does anyone have any good new couples devotionals? I’ve got a new boyfriend and he’s very strong in his faith (which I love) and I want to make sure our relationship is built on the rock and not the sand.

Study 'Meaning of Marriage' by TK with him. Pay special attention to the scriptural references and do deep dive bible studies on them together weekly-bi-weekly. Also recommend involving family/church early and often it helps to have a strong community of believers for fellowship and service together.

This is not a devotional, but I recently got married, and a good friend recommended that we read these books by Shaunti Feldhahn called For Women Only / For Men Only, to get a better understanding of how the other person thinks. It's been very helpful so far, but we aren't finished with them just yet.
Praying for your relationship and your heart to pursue God together! I think it's very important for both of you to want to build yourselves up together in the faith. It's not just the role of the man to lead in this area, as someone else commented.

Thank you!! It is definitely a priority for both of us! He had actually read those! Well the For Men Only! He said it was great. We talked about it last night and we are both doing some research on good ones 😊 I think he liked that I brought it up. I said “I want to study the word with you. And grow together and figure out who we want to be as a couple”. He smiled and kissed me sweetly. My heart exploded lol.

Anyone??? Haha.

PwC, you're doing nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong with showing that you want to build a healthy, godly relationship. And while yes, he SHOULD be leading in this area, it's a bit presumptuous to assume he's not. Keep it up and I pray that God rewards and blesses you both for seeking him first.

If/when you're in a serious relationship: Now you're speaking my language (Chapman) and Saving your marriage before it starts (Parrot).

Maybe attend a virtual bible study together, that way you both can be on the same page and learn at the same time. Just because he seems strong doesn’t mean he knows everything in the Bible. Plus you two will grow so much together. I can suggest a good one if your interested.

Thanks for your input, everyone! Unfortunately (or fortunately lol), we broke up this past weekend. I definitely feel it’s for the better. Thanks again!

So my brother doesn't talk to me for 6 months.   (I had offered my lake house guest space to my cousin who said yes instead of my brother who didn't know if he could come nor when he might know if he could come, how unfair of me).

On Thanksgiving day mom arrives and tells me that brother might come by in an hour.  He had ignored my invite weeks ago.  (Uh ok, sure).

Hi everyone I am relocating to Hyderabad next month. Even though I look forward to meeting new people I can’t seem to ignore the fact that I will move away from family.

I am financially independent but I feel guilty for not being there for them. Is there any possibility of getting transferred to Gurgaon office(a lot closer to my home)if I talk to my manager?
