Because your wedding should be spiritually intimate

Spirituality may be the most difficult to share, but it is something worth pursuing with our spouse.

"We share opinions on all topics related to our lives, except our faith," says Joan and Paul, who have been happily married for 16 years. As with many other Christian couples, each of them has a personal relationship with God. But Joan and Paul wish to go even further and share this deeply intimate aspect of their lives with each other to strengthen their marital vows and bond. marriage.

The adventure of shared faith

Few spouses fight for such intimacy. To achieve this, their relationship must be strong and share common points of view and values: trusting each other and wanting to grow together in faith. However, a number of problems can discourage them from going on this journey: the fear of doing more than they can, sharing their doubts and weaknesses or showing their vulnerability. But the sins that we secretly confess before the Lord are not to be exposed; He will visit each of our hearts and heal them.

There is more to each of us than our weaknesses and wickedness. There is also the long spiritual journey, illuminated and enriched by the reading of the Holy Scriptures, by the hopes, joy and experiences that have made us grow. Revealing what God has taught us and the role it plays in our life allows our loved one to discover the treasures of our heart.

According to the blessing that the priest gave us on our wedding day, we became man and wife because we were "married in the presence of the Lord". So the best way to find Christ and show our love for him is through our mutual love. What St. John the Evangelist said about loving God (John 4:12) is even more pertinent for a Christian couple: “No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God dwells in us and his love is perfect in us. "

It is the only way we have been given to love God, with words and deeds. This is how our love for God "is made complete" (John 4:17).
