What It Means When I Say 'I Do' by Cindy David is a heartfelt and practical guide for anyone looking to strengthen their marriage or gain deeper insight into what commitment truly means. David lays out 35 daily promises that guide nurturing a loving, joy-filled relationship in a short, approachable read. Whether you're newly married or have been together for years, this book offers timeless wisdom wrapped in simplicity. Its practical and straightforward approach makes this a helpful marriage guide. David provides actionable steps to help couples proactively face challenges together. These daily promises don’t just focus on resolving conflict but emphasize building a solid emotional and spiritual foundation that can weather the good times and the challenging ones that most couples face.

This book stands out because it is grounded in Scripture-based principles, adding a spiritual layer to the advice. For couples who value faith as part of their relationship, David’s encouragement to center marriage around God is uplifting and deeply inspiring, providing a solid foundation for life’s journey. I like the layout of the illustrations throughout the book to enhance its message and the space to write personal reflections and marriage commitments. It’s a nice personal touch because What It Means When I Say 'I Do' is a book you’ll want to refer to often in years to come, allowing you to review your commitments. This book is a must-read for anyone wanting to build a strong, committed, enduring, and faith-based marriage. It would make an excellent wedding or anniversary gift.
