"
Call unto me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you have not known." Jeremiah 33:3
This prayer challenge aims to teach couples how to pray together to create the most potent connection a husband and wife can experience, spiritual intimacy.
Intimacy is a feeling of closeness where you feel emotionally connected and safe. Spiritual intimacy in marriage is the process of opening your heart, mind, and soul to each other and the Lord. It is a deep connection to the core of your being. Spiritual intimacy involves revealing your spirituality, listening to disclosures, and supporting your spouse without judgment.
Spiritual intimacy is developed when a husband and wife participate in spiritual activities, like praying, worshipping, and prioritizing God in their marriage.
Three other types of intimacy also build closeness and connection in a relationship. First, there is emotional intimacy which involves listening and understanding—second intellectual intimacy, the sharing of ideas and shared interests. Third, physical intimacy includes touching, holding hands, hugging, kissing, and sex.
So physical intimacy is between bodies, emotional intimacy is between hearts, intellectual intimacy is between minds, and spiritual intimacy is between souls (when one soul touches another).
When a husband-and-wife practices spiritual intimacy, a connection unites them like no other, they become "wrapped up, tied up, and tangled up in Jesus," and that's a good thing.
When a husband and wife pray together, they tap into the spiritual realm, not just to a high power or the man upstairs, but to the highest power, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Wonders happen in relationships where couples pray together.
It's no surprise that scripture shouts in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." Because of this scripture, the best place for a husband and wife is in the Lord's presence. That is where healing and forgiveness occur, wisdom is revealed, and peace is found. In the presence of the Lord, there is liberty, strength, courage, and empowerment.
No matter how good or troubled your marriage is, God will transform and upgrade your relationship if you dare to pray with your spouse.
I believe that if you pray with your spouse for seven consecutive days, God will rebuild, restore, and possibly even revive your relationship. After all, God is the initiator of marriage and wants your marriage to work out more than you do.
