I was recently asked, “How do we increase intimacy in our marriage?” At first I didn’t know if they were asking about general intimacy or sexual intimacy, but as I thought about it I realized that in many ways the answer is the same. Psychologists have tried to explain the fact that we are multidimensional beings in various ways (hello, id, ego, and superego!!), but ancient scripture infers that we are beings with a body, a soul, and a spirit.
I believe that the deepest intimacy comes when we follow ancient scripture and connect on physical, emotional/intellectual, and spiritual levels. Is your sex life struggling? Try deepening your spiritual connection. Are you longing for more emotional and intellectual connection? Try improving your sex life and I almost guarantee that your emotional connection will deepen. But without a doubt the glue that keeps this all together is our spiritual connection; there is no deeper connection you can have with your spouse. Judah and I have started doing our church’s Daily Guided Prayers together a few days a week (I still like doing them by myself sometimes too!) and found it really amazing to connect over. Do you have a plan and practice for deepening your spiritual connection? | Posted on 19/Mar/2024 00:38:59
