The spiritual component of life is the core around which everything else revolves. It’s the key to healing, wholeness, and well-being in every area of human experience.
What difference does faith make to a marriage?
It’s very important for you and your spouse to talk about what God means to you, what spiritual practices you find meaningful, and how you can support each other before marriage.
Here are some steps that any couple can take in order to fully understand where you stand regarding your faith.
Start with the basics:
Who is God for you?
What code of ethics guides your life?
Do you value weekly worship?
What kind of prayer is comfortable and satisfying to you?
How important is it that your spouse shares your religious beliefs?
Are you lukewarm in your religious commitment and likely to fade away if you have to do it alone?
Now let’s take a look at the role of faith and spirituality in marriage.
The importance of spiritual connection is infinite and unimaginable. More, it is vital in a healthy marriage
Every couple needs soul-to-soul closeness. If you want to enjoy the deepest level of connection in marriage, you need to develop spiritual intimacy in your relationship.
There is nothing weird or mystical about spiritual intimacy. It’s simply a marriage of three—an intimate relationship between God, a husband, and a wife. Profound intimacy happens when two hearts, two bodies, two souls connect with the God who created them and designed marriage.
The spiritual aspect is crucial to the health and success of every marriage. Couples with a strong shared faith do have an advantage over those who don’t.
There may come a time when you would be faced with trials and tough times that may shake the foundation of your marriage, how then will your anchor hold through the storm?
When you have faith in the Creator of the universe, then you can survive. In fact, you’ll do more than survive the losses, hurts, financial failures, and the things that life brings. Your marriage will be richer for the trials. When you bump up against a trial,being deeply rooted in your faith in God is an assurance that you’re not alone.
That is the role of faith in your marriage
