Step 2:
Read and Meditate on Scripture

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love,
any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,  complete my joy by being of the same mind,
having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.’

(Philippians 2:1-2, ESV)

Step 3:
Questions For Discussion

  1. How would you rate your current spiritual intimacy with your spouse? Why?

  2. What spiritual background do you and your spouse have?

    How might the differences and similarities affect your spiritual intimacy as a husband and wife?

Step 2:
Take Time in Prayer

Heavenly Father,
You want us to grow in our love for You, and to grow in our faith.
You also want us to have spiritual intimacy in our marriage as we both grow together.
Please open our eyes to where we need help, and guide us on our journey toward spiritual growth.
God, come alongside us to help us draw closer to You as husband and wife.
Amen.
