Listen, we know that spiritual intimacy doesn't sound sexy. It's usually one of the last pillars people think of when it comes to marriage and intimacy... But here's something else we know: As you grow old together, some sexual aspects of your relationship will dwindle. Medications, treatments, and supplements can only do so much. And when libido fades, hands folded together in prayer will take over. If your Spiritual Intimacy Pillar isn't where you want it to be, give today's article a quick read. You might just get the push you need to make this pillar a priority. Love you guys, Tony & Alisa This Week's ArticleSpiritual intimacy tends to be easy for couples to forget. It might not seem as glamorous as a dinner date or as enticing as foreplay. But all of The 6 Pillars of Intimacy are necessary for a strong, healthy, and beautiful marriage—including spiritual intimacy. One way to make sure you’re keeping your spiritual intimacy strong is to pray together as a couple. Praying together creates a firm foundation for your relationship. It helps you look at things from a new perspective, partner together as husband and wife, and build intimacy in a meaningful way. ➡️ If you’re ready to enhance your spiritual intimacy, here are three great reasons why you should pray with your spouse.

Cuts/Scratches Scroll to the end for the answer. Get Adventurous This Spring!Recreational intimacy is more than just “having fun.” It’s an intentional time to be present with your spouse. Couples who date regularly can lower their chances of divorce by 14%! With that said, here are some of the most unique date ideas to help rekindle romance and create new memories together: 1. Hot air ballooning at sunrise If you gaze in awe when you spot a hot air balloon in the sky, this is your sign to go in one with your spouse! Imagine witnessing the sunrise with your spouse while high above the ground. Afterward, you can head to breakfast together to soak in the beauty of your morning adventure. 2. Build a time capsule Create a memory that you can revisit years down the line. Fill your time capsule with photos, special trinkets, and letters to your future selves. Then, set a date when you’ll open the time capsule again. 3. Play laser tag Laser tag isn’t just for kids. You and your spouse can put your teamwork to the test as you work together to take down people from the other team. You can feel your recreational intimacy build as you stick together in the maze, quietly communicate your next moves, and perhaps steal a kiss in a dark corner. 4. Go skydiving Get an adrenaline rush with your love by jumping out of a plane together. Most first-time skydivers go tandem skydiving with a professional, or you can research other options, such as static line skydiving, which require a few hours of training before you jump solo. Whichever method you choose, it’s sure to be a date you never forget. 5. Virtual reality gaming Do you consider yourselves gamers? Then take this date idea and make it a reality! Experience VR at home or at an arcade with virtual reality games. Better yet, play exciting multiplayer games and interact with each other in VR. 6. Blindfolded taste testing Here’s a tasty way to learn about your spouse: have an at-home date where you conduct blindfolded taste testing of all your favorite food and drink items. You can each pick out your favorite things and take turns guessing the surprise food.
