Marriage and the Spirituality of Intimacy

The essence of spirituality, according to Leif Kehrwald, is presence: recognizing and responding to the real but unseen presence of God. Marriage and the Spirituality of Intimacy seeks to open the possibility of a unique spirituality for any couple seeking to respond to God's presence in their lives.

Marriage can be deeply spiritual simply because its ingredients -- intimacy, conflict, personality, friendship, play, work, health, love, nurturing, sex, faith and so on -- go to the core of one's being. In these arenas spirituality can emerge and flourish.
