Lasting marriages are built one defining moment at a time. The moment of blame. The moment of weakness. When your spouse suffers. When dreams disappoint. When the kids leave the nest. It's how we think and behave toward one another in moments like these that determines whether our marriage endures or falters. Ultimately, these are invitations from God to consider our direction and pursue transformation. With 37 years of marriage and 33 years of pastoring under his belt, Dave Harvey has identified those life-defining moments of a post-newlywed marriage. He wants to help couples recognize them in their own relationships so that they can take a proactive, godly approach to resolving conflicts, holding one another up as change inevitably happens, and ensuring that their marriage survives and thrives. Whether your relationship is maturing gracefully, just needs a tune-up, or you and your spouse are locked in conflict and your future seems uncertain, Dave Harvey has encouragement and practical tools to help strengthen what remains and build a rock-solid union for the days to come.

One was born in 1982 and the other was born in 2002. The information we share has come from our search to find answers in God's Word, the Bible, as we have worked our way through the ups and downs of life. These are tried and true principles that can rescue or strengthen any marriage. We have enjoyed many of the joys of life including: the newness of being married, the excitement of having children, the joy of moving into new homes, the adventure of church planting, and receiving God's miraculous provision and healing on more than a few occasions. We have also experienced a lot of difficult circumstances including: financial difficulty, grueling work schedules, career changes, medical scares, miscarriages, heartache about not being able to have more children, extended family complications, re- starting a church while working a full time job, enduring the near death of our youngest son at birth, and dealing with 39 days of his being in the NICU. You see, we have not lived a life free from ups and downs. We have lived a real life together filled with many of the stressors that encourage couples to divorce, but with God's help we are still together and we still do...love each other more than ever. We look forward to sharing the principles we have learned with you!

Durable marriages are built on our responses to defining moments--those experiences, events, and decisions that determine (and sometimes alter) our whole direction. But not all of those moments are going to be big. In fact, big moments are actually made up of many smaller moments, and it's how we react in those everyday, seemingly insignificant moments that determines how we'll act in the big, life-transforming ones. This 31-day devotional is designed to help you and your spouse prepare for those moments. Grounded in Scripture, each devotion includes a brief point of reflection, along with an application or a prayer designed to show you how to meet Jesus in every moment of your marriage, no matter how long you've been married.
