Intro & DAY 1: 30-Day Intimacy Challenge for Christian Marriages

Marriage is a journey that needs constant love and attention. Sometimes our marriages can use a little structure and foundation to boost it up! For the next 30 days we are going to challenge our marriages together and bring in a new spark and strength!

Each day we will have a special challenge along with a bible verse, reflective questions, and a prayer we will all be praying together. Are you ready to bring new life to your marriage?!

During week one we will focus on emotional intimacy. Physical intimacy is so much easier when we have our emotional intimacy in check.

DAY 1

Challenge: Share your love story

Sit down with each other and reminisce about how you met, what attracted you to each other, and your favorite memories together.

If your spouse is not ready for these kind of challenges you can start on your own! Get a notebook and write down all the ooey gooey feelings you felt when you first met your spouse and fell in love with them. Then in random moments express that to your spouse in fleeting comments such as "When I first saw you in "the place you met" my stomach filled with butterflies".

Bible Verse:

Revelation 12:11, "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;"

Reflection Questions:

1. What was one thing about your spouse that first attracted you to them?

2. How has your love story grown and changed over time?

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please work through our memories of our beginning to help our future to flourish and grow in even deeper love and intimacy. Help us to have the same eyes as we did when we first fell in love. Give us that new love sense and all the butterflies that come with it.

In Jesus Name, Amen
