Spiritual Intimacy Part IV

So far we have looked at several action steps to improve our Spiritual Intimacy, they were:Talk, Listen, Sharing,Praying,Doing Bible Study and Spiritual Learning. Today I want to look at the last two action steps, they are:

Worship and Serve Together.

Worship is a vital part of spiritual intimacy and finding a church where worship brings you directly into the presence of God may be a key goal. Instead of the husband going to a men’s retreat, and the wife to a women’s group, attend religious activities together.

Make sure you are both actively involved together in your church ministry. This not only includes sitting together during services but also volunteering together and having your marital relationship be a vital part of your identity in the church.

According to Gary Chapman, "Because service to God is so central in the Christian life, it also plays an important role in developing spiritual intimacy within marriage. Spiritual intimacy greatly increases when a husband and wife serve together."

Well, there they are, I pray and hope that it may help some of you like it has helped me.
