Please do not post if you are going to recommend religions other than Christianity. Also, please do not post if you are going to demean Christianity.

"Quiet Times for Couples" by H. Norman Wright is amazing. Scripturally based - with a Bible quote each day.
We got it for a wedding gift and read it each night for a year ( it is a one year daily devotional - one page or less per day ) and it is impossible to state how helpful and meaningful it was. It drew us even closer.
He hits the important stuff, and things you don't even realize in a very understandable, clear and gentle way.
But your number one devotional - pray together, regularly. It gives you God's perspective and care.
A statistic: The divorce rate is 50%, for couples that worship (go to church) together it is 10%, for couples that pray together it is 2%.
God Bless.

You could start with "Marriage".
Ecclesiastes 9:9 Proverbs 5:15, Proverbs 5:18-20, 1Corinthians 7:3, Ephesians 5:22,23; Ephesians 5:25-33; 1 Timothy 5:8; Colossians 3:18,19; 1Peter 3:7; Titus 2:4,5. Once you are confident you have Marriage down pat try the next study on "Lust" If you need scriptures for that I can provide them. Marriages fail because of Lust.

Lots of good stuff in the bible. For starters 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. Ephesians 5:25 and 33. Also Proverbs has a lot of good advice.

Jehovah's Witnesses will be happy to help you study the Bible in general to see what it really teaches.
The also have a family specific book based upon the Bible called "The Secret of Family Happiness" that you can obtain from them at no charge.

Congratulations! First you guys may need to decide on what version to read together, next visit "borders" bookstore or any other bookstore and check out the religion section. You might want to look on books that talk about family devotionals.
Hope this helps

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/olWkD
It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.

Jehovah's Witnesses do personal home Bible studies at your time and when you want and the cost is free - no money is ever taken. I know I did it myself and still continue doing so very happily. I have never looked back.
