If libido drops and date nights fade...



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,

Spiritual 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.

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.

Question: What’s the #1 boo-boo or injury that couples in the ONE Family have experienced during sex?

A. Cramps

B. Back pain

C. Migraines

D. Cuts/Scratches

Couples have experienced all kinds of sex injuries. In fact, 48% of couples in the ONE Family say they’ve gotten injured having sex.

Some spouses have pulled muscles; others have smacked their heads on furniture.

Certain accidents leave spouses with a bloody nose, black eye, or rug burns.

People experience abrasions, cuts, scratches, and more. There are accidental kicks and headbutts. Ovarian cysts might pop.

Above all, the top sex injury is cramping, whether foot, leg, butt, arm, or otherwise.

Clearly, sex injuries are common amongst the ONE Family. And many of them are unavoidable.

But since marriage doesn’t come with a manual, you might not know how to respond when something like this happens.

So what do you do?

Most of the time, when you hear "physical intimacy" or "physical connection," people are talking about sex. But in our work with couples, we've seen that loving, non-sexual touch (physical intimacy) is absolutely vital for marriage, right alongside sexual intimacy. Here's the thing: you can have physical intimacy without it leading to sex. But strong sexual intimacy without physical touch? Nearly impossible. The two are so connected that a lack of physical intimacy often leads to...

Tomorrow is National Conflict Resolution Day. It's not the most glamorous holiday, but it's absolutely vital for your marriage. Obviously, you and your spouse are different people with different ideas, opinions, and preferences. That means conflict is inevitable. But it doesn't have to be dysfunctional, toxic, or destructive. After coaching hundreds of couples, I noticed a clear conflict cycle that every couple goes through. When you understand the cycle, you can interrupt it and stay...
