Episode 12 // How is the spiritual intimacy in your marriage? Do you have regular devotional times with your husband?
For most couples, we get so busy, tired, or stuck in a rut that we lose track of this marital priority. We focus on our emotional intimacy and our physical intimacy, but squirm away from spiritual intimacy. 
As a marriage counselor, I have seen firsthand the impact that spiritual intimacy has on a marriage. Sure, most couples do not come into counseling because they are looking for greater spiritual connection. But whatever the problems are that bring them through the door, I often find that as they strengthen their spiritual intimacy, it has a positive impact on the problems they are struggling with. 
The thing is... it can be very difficult to develop a healthy habit of devotional time in a marriage!
For most of us, it's difficult enough to find individual time for Bible reading and prayer. We get busy, our thoughts are distracted, the Bible confuses us, and we start to rely on a "verse of the day" app rather than investing time diving into God's Word ourselves. 
If it's hard enough to do this on our own as individuals, how can we get two people to now come together on the same page for regular devotional times? 
Well, just hit play, sister! Today we’ll look at why devotional time matters for a husband and wife, how to handle barriers like not being on the same page about what to do, and then we’ll look at 6 creative ideas that you can try in your marriage. Read the Bible. Pray with your husband. Deepen the spiritual intimacy of your marriage today.
