In a marriage, spiritual intimacy can be the glue that binds a couple's hearts and souls. It is often said that a couple that prays together, stays together, and this couldn't be more true when it comes to strengthening the bond in a marriage. Spiritual intimacy allows you and your spouse to connect on a deeper level, beyond the physical and emotional.
Here are some key principles to help deepen spiritual intimacy in your relationship:
- Pray Together Regularly: Set aside time each day to come together in prayer. Seeking God’s guidance and blessing as a couple can bring unity and purpose.
- Study the Bible Together: Exploring God’s Word as a couple opens up meaningful discussions and helps align your relationship with His will.
- Share Your Spiritual Journey: Be vulnerable with your spouse about your faith, beliefs, and areas where you feel God is leading you both.
- Attend Church Together: Worshiping as a couple, whether online or in person, fosters a shared sense of community and accountability.
- Serve Together: Volunteer or engage in acts of service together. This not only strengthens your connection but also enriches your spiritual life by walking in Christ's example.
Reflect: How can you make spiritual intimacy a priority in your marriage? What steps can you take to grow closer spiritually with your spouse?
