I heard someone say "when I wake up in the morning I ask God to get in my head before I do" and that might be some of the best advice I've ever heard.

We went to church today. We held hands, prayed together, worshiped together, and grew closer together by continuing to add God into our marriage. Today our marriage became stronger because we focused on our relationship with God. Yes, we love our sexual intimacy, intellectual intimacy, recreational intimacy, but we also love spiritual intimacy. It's an amazing intimacy that strengthens our marriage.
