I really enjoy marriage books like this. It's great to have one thing to focus on for one day or one week, depending on how long you want the chapter to last and how long you want to focus on each chapter specifically. The title of the book is one that speaks truth. We make the choice to choose our spouses each day. We choose our attitudes and what we focus in each other. 31 choices can greatly improve your love for your spouse. These choices aren't just for you choosing to love your spouse; it's also challenging the reader to choose to open up and be even more transparent with their spouse.
At the end of each chapter, there are choice questions that are meant for reflection and action. After all, choices aren't meant to just be pondered on, but they are meant to be lived out. The questions aren't necessarily easy if you force yourself to be honest in your answering of the questions.
Lastly, there is a prayer that is written that you can pray or you can write your own prayer. It's an important ending to each chapter because our choices can be fulfilled when God changes our hearts.
With Valentine's Day coming up, this was such perfect timing to read. I can see this being a great book for any married couple to read, whether the marriage is new, old, or just starting out or been going on for years.

 About the book: I Choose You Today: 31 Choices to Make Love Last (Abingdon Press, January 2015) Married for nearly 38 years, author Deborah DeArmond and her husband have made the spoken declaration, "I choose you today" a regular part of their communication. It's when we least feel like saying it that we need to remind ourselves that love is a choice, not a feeling. I Choose You Today features 31 scriptural principles that support marriage and help couples develop healthy biblically based behavior. Built on an introductory anecdotal story, each chapter has an inspirational takeaway of not only what to do, but how to begin applying the principles immediately. Thought provoking questions create talking points for couples to explore their own choices and experiences in each area serve to generate open dialogue of discovery. I Choose You Today is not a book of "shoulds," but one of clearly identified choices that each individual can make to grow their marriage and align it with the word of God. Every saying ends with a conventional wisdom quote.
