This is not a book you rush to finish. Song of Songs (Married Edition): The Cup of Connection is a devotional meant to be lived as a couple in the ordinary moments of marriage—not ideal conditions. It’s designed for busy mornings with coffee in hand, quiet evenings before sleep, and seasons when marriage feels close, tired, stretched, or distracted. Each day can be practiced in as little as three minutes, with full permission to linger when something opens your heart. This is not about finishing a plan. It’s about practicing a devotional walk—a repeated return to communion with God and reconnection with each other. How Couples Use This Devotional Couples may read together in the morning, end the day with a short prayer and reflection, or follow the same daily reading at different times and reconnect later. The goal is not perfection, but shared direction—learning to return to one another and to God again and again. A Pace Shaped by Grace Though structured as a 90-day journey, couples are encouraged to pause, repeat, and rest when life is heavy. This devotional serves communion, not pressure. Grace is not a deadline. Grace is an invitation. For Every Marriage Season This devotional is written for newly married couples, busy families, long-married partners seeking deeper intimacy, and couples healing from stress or unspoken distance. There is no ideal starting point—only now. Also Ideal for Engaged Couples Engaged couples may begin before the wedding, use the appendices for pre-marriage formation, and return to the devotional after saying “I do.” Song of Songs reminds us that covenant intimacy is not accidental—it is formed. Why Song of Songs, Why Now? In a culture offering stimulation without covenant through media, fantasy, and artificial intimacy, Song of Songs offers something radically different: real bodies, real desire, real covenant, real return. This ancient book speaks directly to modern confusion, reminding us that faithful love deepens over time and that marriage is one of the primary places communion is practiced, repaired, and renewed. Designed for a Cup in Your Hand Most days begin or end with a cup. Let it become a simple symbol of daily connection—with God, with your spouse, and with who you were created to be. A cup. A few minutes. An open heart. You don’t need a perfect marriage to begin. - You don’t need the right words. - You only need to come—together. Begin where you are. Tell the truth. Receive grace. And let God gently reconnect your marriage, day by day, into the communion He has restored in Christ.
