The Rhythm of Us

The best relationships share the same basic rhythms. Where are you out of rhythm in your marriage? The Rhythm of Us can be a marriage devotional or an inspiring road map to make your less-than-perfect marriage into something amazing. Chris and Jenni show how the classic spiritual practice of the rule of life can create a dynamic and lifelong “rhythm of us.” Instead of reacting to the pull of life into a thousand meaningless directions, husbands and wives will learn ways to eliminate hurry, slow down, and find intentional, life-giving rhythms.

Using thoughtful, accessible stories, practical guidance, and journaling space at the end of the book to start crafting your rhythms, the Graebes provide an “anyone can do it” vision for healthy marriage. You’ll lean into life-giving rhythms that guide your deepest passions and priorities. Together and individually, you will learn to create space in your busy lives to spend time with Jesus, to become more like Jesus, and to experience the lifelong joy of a thriving marriage.
