Intimacy isn’t just candlelight and chemistry; it’s the courage to be fully known and still fully loved. We open up about what spiritual closeness in marriage really looks like—beyond Sunday services and good intentions—and share the simple, repeatable practices that helped us move from parallel faith lives to a shared journey with God.
We start with daily disciplines you can actually keep: short prayers spoken out loud, a few verses read together, worship on your commute, and quick check-ins about what God is teaching you. Research backs it up—couples who pray for each other grow more cooperative and forgiving—yet the point isn’t perfection, it’s presence. You’ll hear how we got over the fear of “praying right,” why short and sincere beats long and lofty, and how tiny, consistent actions compound into real connection.
Then we zoom out to weekly fellowship. Planting into a church community and a small group gives your marriage a support system, shared language, and honest friends who lift you when you’re tired. We talk about why gathering matters for both spiritual health and marital stability, the power of life groups, and practical ways to engage even if your schedule or season is complicated. From there we step into service as a shared adventure—volunteering together, welcoming newcomers, mentoring youth—and how a common mission reshapes your home. Serving side by side breaks routine, builds teamwork, and turns faith into muscle memory.
We close with a preview of what’s next: navigating spiritual dry spells without pressure or shame. If you’ve been longing for closeness with God and with each other but don’t know where to start, this conversation offers a clear path: pray daily, gather weekly, serve regularly. Subscribe for part three, share this with a couple who needs hope, and leave a review so more marriages can find these tools.
