Great marriages are made, not born. In this devotional, Levi and Jennie Lusko take turns showcasing the highs and lows of marital relationships and how God uses them to foster a deeper love and a more solid foundation.

God wants you to have a strong, thriving, and fun marriage. Even in the midst of mortgage payments, emotional baggage, drama, mistakes, and a whole lot of laundry, your marriage can not only survive, but be sweet, steady, and strong.

Wherever you are right now, God wants to use your marriage to grow you in strength, kindness, tenderness, joy, and leave a legacy that will change the world.

In these 52 devotions, Levi and Jennie will point you to God's word and help you experience a depth and beauty you may have never thought possible. Whether your marriage needs fine tuning, or to be torn back to the studs and be rebuilt, this devotional will help you:

• Unlock new joy and vibrancy by recognizing there is better beyond the honeymoon phase
• Uncomplicate conflict as you learn to fight fairly as members on the same team
• Access Godly wisdom by engaging and staying steady when your marriage doesn't look the way you thought it would

This unique devotional is power packed with questions to answer and discuss. You'll find short prayers to pray over your spouse and a checklist of fun, thoughtful activities to do throughout the week.

Perfect for newlyweds and even seasoned married couples, this devotional journey will be the encouragement your marriage—not just any marriage—needs to flourish.
