How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and any listed reading age or level. None of the picks states a reading age, grade level or Lexile, and books carry no warranty. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best prayer book for couples

Daily devotional or book of prayers

A 365-day devotional gives a dated entry for each day; a book of prayers gives prayers to choose from. The Mr & Mrs by BroadStreet and Love Always by BroadStreet volumes are 365-day devotionals of 384 pages, and our best couples devotional book list covers more devotionals.

Check the edition, page count and format

Page counts run from 128 to 384 pages, and dates from November 1, 2011 to January 7, 2025. Love Dare Day by Kendrick states no page count, publisher or date.

Before you buy

• Check the publication date and page count on the listing.
• Check whether a compilation repeats books already owned.
• Check what the listing states inside: the Love Dare Day by Kendrick lists nothing beyond its title.
