How do you rebuild spiritual connection in your relationship? In this month’s Marriage Monthly, we unpack why spiritual intimacy is foundational for a thriving marriage—and how to rekindle it when you’ve drifted. From the Bible’s vision of “one flesh” to practical rhythms like prayer, worship, serving, fasting, and forgiveness, this episode gives you a hopeful path back to unity.
Discover:
- Why spiritual oneness is part of God’s original design for marriage
- The “bank account” effect of daily deposits (humility, grace, forgiveness)
- What usually breaks spiritual connection (distraction, division, different priorities, discouragement)
- Research-backed benefits of spiritual intimacy (less conflict, more warmth, humor, and cooperation)
- Gentle ways to invite a hesitant spouse (influence without pressure)
- Simple, weekly practices to grow closer: pray, attend church, read Scripture, serve, fast, walk in gratitude
- How to personalize your spiritual rhythms (no one-size-fits-all)
Key Points Discussed:
- •Sexy is serving Jesus”—why consistent service builds safety and trust
- “Leave and cleave” = covenantal, spiritual, emotional, and relational unity
- Drifting is usually slow: spiritual neglect precedes relational distance
- Invitation beats pressure—lead with example, prayer, and patience
- Five next steps: pray before leaving the house, attend church together, ask “Where is God stretching us?”, read Scripture before bed, serve together this week
Bible Verses Mentioned:
- Genesis 2:24; Mark’s reiteration of “one flesh”
- Ecclesiastes 4:12 (cord of three strands)
- Psalm 34:5
- Colossians 3:14–15
- 1 Peter 3; 1 Corinthians 7 (unequally yoked guidance)
- 1 Corinthians 13; Song of Solomon
