This book is a great couple way to have a daily devotional. I love how this book is laid out and the declarations. This book is great for old and new couples. Excellent!

If you are looking for something that will inspire you and your spouse to live a life of victory together this devotional might do the trick. I think if you took just a few minutes a day and read these short devotionals it could have a lasting impact on your marriage.

I haven’t tried it, yet but would like to. It won’t take long but could make a big difference.

A copy this book was given to me through Netgalley.com. All opinions are my own.

"Or Best Life Together" is a phenomenal resource for Christian couples. My husband agreed to read this devotional with me five nights a week (in the intro, author Joel Osteen states that the book is meant to be read five times a week). My husband and I take turns reading each night, which has been a really neat experience, since this is the very first devotional we have ever read together. The tone of the book is positive, encouraging, uplifting, while still being realistic and addressing everyday problems and challenges of life and marriage. I am so grateful for this book, and for the encouragement it's bringing to my husband and I. It has opened the door for many great conversations that wouldn't otherwise come up if we weren't spending this little bit of time together in study five nights a week. My husband is very masculine, and doesn't usually like anything he considers too "cheesy." He is comfortable reading this devotional aloud with me, and doesn't feel awkward during devotional time, which has been such a relief. I know this is something we will stick with, because the daily devotions are short enough to hold attention, but substantive enough to be worthwhile. Each devotional includes a scripture (which is printed in the book, rather than just referred to), the devotional text from Joel and Victoria, and a prayer. I love the simple, straightforward format, and the messages are so practical. I highly, highly recommend this book! Thank you to the publisher, who provided me with a free electronic copy of the book. I have actually purchased my own copy, because I will be using it regularly, and for a very long time! I was not required to write a review. The opinions stated here are my own.

The book may be packaged as a spiritual, religious guide for a happy, long-lasting, productive marriage, but it is full of generic, self-help advice on personality, character and habits of successful, optimistic and secure people.

So it works for those who believe in Osteens' religious and marital journey and those who don't. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC.

Really good simple devotional for couples. We loved that each days reading was really short. I also liked that there is a simple prayer for each day, and a scripture for us to focus on.

Don't expect this to be an in depth bible study. It is a great way to connect quickly with your spouse and set a good tone for the day.

I hate the cover though. I certainly wouldn't want it sitting on my bedside table all the time. lol

As a newly engaged couple, I started this bible study with an extremely open mind. I also invited my fiancé to set aside a time when we could read it together. To my surprise, he agreed and was shocked by how much we both learned by taking a little time every day in devotion. Thanks to Joel and Victoria we have learned to be the people that the Bible says that we are. To be the strength in each others weakness and that alone has brought us closer together. You would be surprised how much more in love we've become and how much more we appreciate each other. This is a fantastic book for busy couples, each day is short yet in depth enough to give us something to think on during our day.

I loved the encouraging word of love and faith entwined within this book from Joel and Victoria. A must read for anyone wanting a relationship with encouragement and faith.

No matter how long you have been married or simply how long you’ve been together as a couple this book is for you. Joel and Victoria in their couples devotional book offers hope, focuses on support and encouraging your relationship. It’s a great book to be be cherish and read multiple times.

Short, doable, common sense devotionals with a relationship focus. Very approachable format that fans of the Osteens will be familiar with.
