Day 3: Deepening Spiritual Intimacy

Written By James Youngs

Scripture: “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV)

Reflection:
Spiritual intimacy reminds us that marriage was never meant to be navigated alone. God strengthens what we invite Him into. When we use the strand analogy for Ecclesiastes 4:12, we see how the thread is strengthened each time we add the additional strand. We understand that the unity of the husband and wife is fortified by the third strand which is representative of God. God at the center of our marriages is His design for covenant relationships to be strong and long lasting.

Prayer:
God, draw us closer to You and closer to each other. Be the center of our marriage and guide us in all of Your ways. Amen.

Intentional Action:
Pray together—even briefly.
