There is a limit on how close a couple can be to every single other if they are not also close to God. Not only individually close to God, but close as a couple as nicely.
In our Marriage Counseling practice most of the couples who come to us want a deeper spiritual life together. How does a couple get closer to God?
The 1st factor to do is strategy/prepare. Sit down as a couple to talk about the things that have created you really feel close to God in the past or that you assume would make you close to God in the present. Make two lists. It would be typical for each spouse to have diverse ideas. Because this write-up is about finding closer to God as a couple, look at the two lists to see if there is anything you could do together.
Set yourselves up for achievement. See if there is an item that both of you have on your lists (for instance prayer). Talk about how you both like to pray, when to pray, and where to pray. The goal is to come into agreement on how you would like to go about praying as a couple. There is an old saying that couples that pray together stay together.
Receiving started is the uncomplicated part. The alot more tricky element is to be constant with your new aim. Let's look at some factors that would aid. You can start off with setting a certain time each day. If setting a time every day is too rigid a couple could try setting a sequence, i.e. breakfast, dress, make bed, prayer. Also a couple could arrange accountability with a further couple who would like to also boost their spiritual life together.
