Spiritual Connections, simple profound notes!

One
of the greatest gifts you can give your mate—and your marriage—is spiritual
intimacy. Try these tips for sharing your inner selves:

1. Take the risk. Initiate a spiritual connection. Say, "I
   was reading the Bible today and saw something I've never noticed before. May I
   share it with you?"
   
   
   
   
   
2. Draw close through prayer. Ask God to bless her, speak
   to her, move her. If you have a problem or a praise, ask your spouse if you can
   pray together.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Share what you're learning. Most men want to know what
   their wife is learning from God (just not always in great detail). Share what
   you're discovering, but pay attention to his response. If your detail is causing
   him to glaze over, don't take it personally. Share what he's willing to receive
   at the time.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Spend time with God … alone. You'll spend eternity with
   God, so getting to know him is the main purpose of your life. Read the Bible.
   Meditate on its truths. Take time apart from your spouse, kids, friends, and
   distractions to connect to God. It will refresh you, give you perspective, and
   offer an intimacy no one else can give.
