Day Four Challenge

Here is day four homework for the three commitments we are making for the challenge:

Spiritual
(Read the following passage together, alone as a couple)

“A husband should satisfy his wife's sexual needs. And a wife should satisfy her husband's sexual needs.” 1 Corinthians 7:3

Now pray with each other or for each other. If you don't know what to pray then ask your spouse how you can pray for them. It doesn't have to be long or fancy, just from the heart.

Emotional
(Have a conversation around these ideas)

  • Half way through the challenge ask yourself on a scale of 1 – 10 how you are doing with each of the three commitments to intimacy (spiritual, emotional, physical)
  • What kind of progress has been made in your relationship?
  • Are there still things you might need to seek out wise counsel on? If so make a plan to seek a Christian Counselor together.
  • If there are still things you can’t communicate to each other write a timeline for sharing it slowly over a period of time.

Physical
Watch a romantic movie (chick flick) and before making love quote one of the lines from the movie.

***Romantic Hint***
Guys, for tonight to happen get the movie before you get home from work.
Ladies, find a sitter or put the kids down early.
