When was the last time you took a look at your home with intimacy in mind?

I’m not talking sexual intimacy, that’s for another time. The intimacy I’m thinking of is a place to connect heart to heart.

If you have children at home this space is even more important to create.

Toys and school projects have a way of infiltrating every fiber of your home. This is why it is imperative for a healthy marriage to create your own space where you can connect.

A couple of nights ago Tom and I were overwhelmed by the good God is doing in our family. We went to one of our favorite spots set up for 2 and worshiped God. The songs chosen were ones that have carried us through some dark valleys. Being on this side of the trouble, worshiping God provided a release of gratefulness.

Difficult times will come.

Jesus promised that we would have trouble in this life. But He doesn’t stop there; He reminds us that He has overcome the world.

Our encouragement to you is to rethink your space. Find a couple of chairs, a small table, lamp or candle and add pillows and a blanket to have this intimate corner to retreat to as needed.

You can read the Bible or a good book together, worship God through music or just download about the day. Even if you only spend 15 minutes in this space a day, we guarantee it will provide fresh air for you both to breathe purpose and intimacy into your lives.

No marriage will thrive without this kind of intentionality.

Why not surprise your spouse and create your own special space today?

Your marriage will thank you.
