There is a limit on how close a couple can be to each other if they are not also close to God. Not only individually close to God, but close as a couple as well.
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 to begin with issue to do is plan/prepare. Sit down as a couple to talk about the items that have made 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 normal for each and every spouse to have completely different ideas. Due to the fact this write-up is about acquiring 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 each of you have on your lists (for instance prayer). Talk about how you both 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 remain together.
Finding began is the straightforward component. The a lot more complicated portion is to be consistent with your new aim. Let's look at some factors that would assist. You can start with setting a distinct time every single day. If setting a time each and every day is too rigid a couple may possibly attempt setting a sequence, i.e. breakfast, dress, make bed, prayer. Also a couple may arrange accountability with a further couple who would like to also strengthen their spiritual life together.
