What it is
An illustrated devotional for rebuilding marital intimacy.
Pride turns love inward and isolates. Humility asks husband and wife to move outward toward intimacy again with sacrifice and intentional pursuit.
Do not rush the work. Some sessions invite personal reflection. Others invite discussion together. The goal is not merely to finish pages, but to let God awaken love and rebuild intimacy.
Session structure
Eight sessions for coming together.
Move from confronting pride to understanding intimacy, then toward practical action and trust in God's sovereign design.
01
The Problem of Pride
Pride turns spouses inward, keeping each person focused on what they are not getting instead of how they can love.
02
God's Living Water
The ability to love faithfully comes from God, not from emotional willpower or marital performance.
03
The Value of Intimacy
Marital intimacy is not merely personal fulfillment. It is part of how a marriage displays God's love.
04
Nature of Intimacy
Intimacy is deep, passionate, exclusive, and abiding connection between husband and wife.
05
Nature of Humanity
Human beings are embodied souls, and marriage involves the knowing of both body and soul.
06
God Designed Tension
Differences between male and female desire can become an invitation to love with patience, tenderness, and intention.
07
How to Build Intimacy
Couples are invited to assess intimacy honestly and choose one intentional action to begin building connection.
08
God's Sovereignty
God has purpose in the marriage you are already in, even when growth feels difficult.
Why it matters
Intimacy is more than personal happiness.
Intimacy is a living testimony of God's love, not simply a private benefit of marriage.
Marriage is a mission field: the first place husband and wife are called to represent Christ to each other, their children, and then the world.
