Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A good book advising couples of the necessity of spiritual bonding within marriage. The author provides many good ideas about how a couple can spiritually bond (prayer, open communication, Bible reading/study, joint participation in service, etc.), and writes it in a conversational way.The author speaks from his own experience, and does so perhaps a bit too much. Much fault can be found with his expressly Evangelical theology: salvation, work of the church, conceptualization of worship, etc. General principles in the book, however, are quite sound.

Isn't sexual -- or emotional -- intimacy enough? "No," says Christian psychologist Dr. David Clarke. "Spiritual bonding is the process by which a couple cultivates the presence of God in their relationship," he says, "and it's the only 'glue' that sustains relationships long-term." Working with hundreds of couples, Clarke observes that when we take specific steps to keep God at the center of our relationships, every area of intimacy is energized. This book teaches men and women in a committed relationship how to pray together, create "spiritual conversations," read and study Scripture together, hold private worship sessions, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide them. It's extremely practical counsel all couples need today. No library descriptions found. |
