Want to increase the intimacy of your marriage?

That tag line is often used in the world to get our attention. Let's get serious about intimacy. Let's define intimacy.

Intimacy = into me see

How can we be intimate with our Lover? How can we connect on a spiritual level? One of the ways we connect is through communication. We communicate in many ways every day by the things we say and by our actions. One way to communicate is through prayer. Communicate with each other and with God, our Abba, Father.

We have put some habits in place to help us stay close to God and to each other.

If the idea of praying together is new to you, you are not alone.

We often talk to couples who have not discovered the great joy and blessing of connecting intimately through prayer.

Webster's Dictionary defines habit as "a usual way of behaving; something that a person does often in a regular and repeated way".

In order to create a habit, we have to be intentional.

A few ways to help you create a habit:

*Agree with each other that praying together is important. Be willing to be uncomfortable as you pray out loud with each other.

*Decide to do it. Start with once a day. Find a time in your day that you can join together. We recommend holding hands. There is something about physical touch that connects us as Lovers. Try finding a time that is most convenient for both of you. Take into consideration your daily schedule.

*Place importance on praying together. It is a way to show your love for each other. The idea here is not that you get it perfect, but that it is a priority in your relationship with God and each other.

*Ask each other, "What can I pray about for you?" Be vulnerable. Be honest. Share your heart.

Be kind to each other, it may take time to create the prayer life you want, but it is worth the effort.

Your Marriage is worth the effort.
