If you and your spouse feel spiritually disconnected, you’re not alone. In this episode, we talk about spiritual intimacy in marriage: what it is, what it looks like in real life, and how to grow it through simple spiritual habits—from prayer, to reading the Bible together—that actually stick. We cover personal vs. shared spiritual disciplines, how habits shape what you love, and what to do if your spouse isn’t on board spiritually. Plus, we share a practical One Degree Shift you can start today to pursue Christ together without trying to change everything overnight.
In this episode:
- What spiritual intimacy in marriage means
- Signs of healthy spiritual intimacy (safety, depth, honesty)
- Personal habits vs. couple habits
- Prayer, Scripture, fasting, and consistency over intensity
- What to do when your spouse isn’t on the same page spiritually
- A simple “one habit for 365 days” challenge
Resources mentioned:
- You Are What You Love by James K.A. Smith: humans are shaped more by what they love than what they think, and habits and cultural liturgies form our desires.
