She loves her husband. She loves her life. And she is tired of explaining both.

The question comes at every gathering, from family, from coworkers, and from the woman in the church pew two rows over. When are you having kids? She has a dozen different answers depending on the day, and none of them are anybody's business. What she needs is someone to tell her that her marriage is not incomplete. Her family is not missing a member. Her life, exactly as it is, is whole.

Just the Two of Us, Lord is that book.

Written by Dr. Patricia A. Farrell, a licensed clinical psychologist who understands what it means to carry disenfranchised grief and defend a life that others have decided is lacking, this 30-day devotional speaks to married women without children whether by choice, by circumstance, or by a journey that is still unfolding. Each day brings scripture, an honest reflection, a prayer that doesn't flinch, three questions worth sitting with, and one step to take.

Over 30 days, she'll move through the weight of the question everyone asks, what her identity as a wife actually means, how to find her place in communities built around children, how to build a legacy that has nothing to do with lineage, and how to stand in contentment without feeling like she's giving up.

This book is a gift for the bride, the anniversary, the friend who smiled through one too many baby showers, the woman who needs to hear that God designed her marriage too.
