Qohelet 8:15

Better Together is a 5-day marriage devotional that shares the joy of doing life together and using your gifts to serve one another. We pray you are inspired to spend more time loving, encouraging and enjoying your spouse!

Ecclesiastes is frequently described as pessimistic, but after these 5 days, you’ll see it as one of the most encouraging books of the Bible. Solomon basically takes the filter off the world, exposing its relentless cycle of empty promises, compared to the eternal hope God freely gives us.

The kids are melting down, life keeps throwing curveballs, and you are simply overwhelmed. When family life is harder to cope with, God offers strength, compassion, and tender mercy. This 5-day devotional teaches parents how to cope with the hard things in life by putting on the armor of God, so kids, in turn, can learn by example to deal with emotions in a healthy way.

We all want to live wisely. Sometimes, we need discernment for big decisions. Other times, we feel in over our heads and need insight for what to do next. And then there are the ordinary but confusing days when we just need practical advice or help getting unstuck. Thankfully, the Bible is full of principles for discerning God’s voice and offers a clear starting place for living a life of wisdom: the fear of the Lord.
