Building Spiritual Intimacy In Marriage

There is a limit on how close a couple can be to 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 1st issue to do is strategy/prepare. Sit down as a couple to speak about the points 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 normal for each and every spouse to have distinctive tips. Since this article is about getting closer to God as a couple, appear 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 each of you have on your lists (for instance prayer). Speak about how you each like to pray, when to pray, and exactly 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.


Obtaining started is the hassle-free component. The extra troublesome portion is to be constant with your new objective. Let's appear at some factors that would aid. You can start off with setting a precise time each and every day. If setting a time every day is too rigid a couple may attempt setting a sequence, i.e. breakfast, dress, make bed, prayer. Also a couple might arrange accountability with an additional couple who would like to also improve their spiritual life together.
