    In the midst of busyness, dealing with life in general and raising your kids, sometimes you might find difficult to connect with your spouse. Well, help is there for any couples who want to draw closer to each other. Closer - Devotions to Draw Couples Together has been written to challenge spouses to do what needs to be done to be closer spiritually and emotionally.
    This book contains 52 devotions - one per week - but is not restricted to a specific schedule. If you miss a week, don't worry about it, just continue the book where we left it the last time you had some time together.
    Each devotions start with a scripture and a little text that you could read together. Then the conversation can start. After having read the devotion, you will have some faith conversations between your spouse and you. These conversations are guided by strategic questions that the authors have thought of while writing the devotion. Once your conversation is finished, you are not done just yet... The authors have also included some exercises to do with your spouse. Called A Step Closer, these exercises will help you to deepen your relationship.
    I was impressed to see a story about a Canadian in one of the chapters. I find it rare that American authors would include stories of Canadians in their book. So imagine my surprise to see a little tidbit about Terry Fox in the devotion titled Attitude is Everything.
    As I write this, my husband and I are already in the midst of a couple book right now but this devotion is something I am planning to do with him in a near future.
    In conclusion, whether you have been married for 25 years or if you are newlyweds, this book is a must in your personal library.
    This review was made possible because I receive a copy of CLOSER from Bethany House.
