Can you recommend a good daily devotional program that my boyfriend and I can do together?
My bf and I have been dating for over a year and are looking for some sort of devotional program that we can work through together. I will be graduating from Bible college this year and my bf also knows the Bible quite well, so we would prefer something that has some good theological insight to it and isn't too fluffy if that makes sense as we are trying to prepare ourselves spiritually for the possibility of marriage.
Ideally we are hoping to find something online, but I have looked and wasn't able to find much.
Any suggestions?

Robert Alter's "The Five Books of Moses" is excellent, especially if you're looking for something that's not as you say, "fluffy." His translation and commentary makes the text come alive and it's written so that even those without a college degree can understand it. It's a delicious feast! I've been studying the Bible for years and it has really fed my mind and spirit as well as increased my understanding in ways most others haven't.
There's also a lot of good marriage books out there to help prepare people for marriage -
Timothy and Kathy Keller's "The Meaning of Marriage" is excellent and really raises the standard for a Biblical view on marriage. It's not a "devotional" but is full of insight and excellent teaching on marriage for a Biblical perspective.
"His Brain, Her Brain" by Dr. Walt Larimore was also eye opening on the differences of the sexes and how they complement each other.
"Love and Respect" by Dr. Emmerson Eggrichs is also good. I learned about the greatest needs of women and was shocked because their needs are so different from men's needs. (Generally speaking).
