We Need to Talk About God

Share your individual spiritual lives. Take five minutes to tell your partner how you’re doing in your relationship with Jesus. Share in detail what’s happening in your spiritual life.

• Descriptions of your daily quiet times
• Insights gained from your Bible reading
• Ways you're applying the Bible to your life
• Spiritual victories
• Spiritual defeats
• Spiritual doubts and questions
• Areas of temptation
• Ways God is guiding you day by day

Be honest and be specific. Sometimes, you’ll talk about the exciting, positive things God is doing in your life and how close you are to Him. Sometimes, you’ll talk about how you are struggling with God and feel distant from Him.

Encourage and support each other. On your own, you cannot experience significant spiritual growth. Real, deep spiritual growth always occurs in the context of relationship.

I think you can see that this kind of spiritual talk is very personal and intimate and requires courage. It will create a strong spiritual bond. It will also create a strong emotional bond through the interesting, stimulating, and revealing conversations it creates for the two of you. And your spiritual and emotional intimacy will lead to better-than-ever physical intimacy.
