The Intimacy Table - Spiritual Intimacy In Marriage Begins With YOU!

Spiritual intimacy can be a really difficult thing to think about within marriage.  Often times we are satisfied as couples just to know that we "believe the same general things".  But do not be fooled!  Spiritual "sameness" is not the same as spiritual intimacy.  The former is easy - the latter takes discipline, intentionality, and your own deep devotion to God.  But spiritual intimacy is only two steps away in your marriage!  Let's get into that!

The Intimacy Table - Understanding Our Spouse’s Need For (Non-Sexual) Physical Intimacy And Pursuing Them Physically

Physical (but NON-sexual) intimacy in marriage can be really challenging thing for a couple to navigate.  Lack of physical intimacy can often be a stumbling block for one or the other partner in the marriage and can tempt us into thinking all kinds of horrible things about our spouse.  As Peter commands us in 1 Peter 3:7 - we are to live with our spouse "in an understanding way".  The area of physical intimacy in marriage gives us ALL sorts of opportunity to live this out practically.  Let's get into that!
