Building Spiritual Intimacy In Marriage

There is a limit on how close a couple can be to each and every 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 first thing to do is strategy/prepare. Sit down as a couple to speak about the things that have produced you really feel close to God in the past or that you consider would make you close to God in the present. Make two lists.  It would be widespread for each spouse to have distinctive suggestions. Considering the fact that this article is about obtaining 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 accomplishment. See if there is an item that both of you have on your lists (for instance prayer). Speak about how you both like to pray, when to pray, and where to pray. The aim 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.


Acquiring started is the very easy portion. The extra tricky component is to be consistent with your new aim. Let's appear at some points that would support. You can get started with setting a distinct time each and every day. If setting a time every day is too rigid a couple could attempt setting a sequence, i.e. breakfast, dress, make bed, prayer. Also a couple might arrange accountability with one more couple who would like to also improve their spiritual life together.
