As we make an effort to spend time discussing our marriage book, another thing Ben and I have been thinking about is how we can share our spirituality with each other. At the moment we're trying to pray together every so often which is nice, but I don't think we do it often enough to build up any kind of intimacy between us. If we leave it too long I begin to get a complex about praying aloud and it makes it such a huge chore rather than being anything meaningful that brings us together.
A question mainly for couples, but anyone can comment - how do you share your faith with each other? Is it something important in a relationship and what works for you?

Good to see you blogging again!
Hol and I have had a different journey. It has taken us a long time to really understand each others Faith. There's no point in trying to establish patterns of prayer, for example, if your styles are different and you can't aprecite the differences.
Gaining that understanding has brought about a lasting intimacy, that is a blessing to us.
Do not be discouraged in your search to share you spirituality. You will find things that work. Also, do not try to isolate it from the other aspects of your marriage; I think it needs to flow through all areas of you lives.
