Last year, some blogging friends and I worked together to produce our first Advent devotional for Catholic couples. We saw a need and wanted to fill it!
We initially weren’t planning on doing another one this year…but changed our minds at the last minute. So we’re a little later than last year, but we’re still in time for Advent. 😅
Along with the ladies at Hail Marry, we updated the 2018 devotional to work for 2019. It’s the same format, so I’ll just use last year’s explanation:
Do you want a simple way for you and your spouse to prepare for Christmas together? Waiting Together is an Advent devotional specifically for Catholic couples! Each day in Advent, we give you the Gospel reading for the day, a reflection, questions to discuss together, and a prayer. That’s it! It will take you less than 10 minutes each day. (Most days will probably only take 5 minutes. Easy peasy, right?)
We did change up the design a bit, and we took out all of the challenges (Check out our Advent challenge if you want those!). Plus, we lowered the price!
Full disclosure: many of the reflections are the same from last year….but there are several new ones. And this year we are offering the first 3 days of the devotional for free!

Here’s a quick rundown of the details of Waiting Together:
- 79-page color PDF download
- Created for Catholic couples
- Each week has a different theme (hope, faith, joy, and peace)
- Each day has the Gospel reading for the day, a reflection to read, questions to discuss together, and a prayer
- Starts on the first day of Advent and ends on Christmas
We are so excited about this devotional, because one of our goals is to encourage couples to keep their marriage a priority while fostering a prayer life together…and this devotional helps you do exactly that!

Has this been updated for 2020, or would it work for 2020 as is?

At the moment, we don’t plan to do a 2020 version (unless we get really inspired in the next couple of weeks!). This one does have the dates for 2019, including the Gospel readings for year A (as opposed to year B for the new year), so not every day carries over. But the reflections would still be relevant, if the different Gospel readings don’t bother you. Advent this year is also 2 days longer, so the 2019 version wouldn’t have enough days for the 4th week of Advent.

Any chances that a 2021 version is on the way?
