Marital Spirituality: The Search for the Hidden Ground of Love Book

Beautifully written by veteran marriage counselors, this is a fresh look at marital dynamics and marital spirituality. Using classic wisdom, stories, personal anecdotes, activities, and old and new prayer forms, the book offers four new ways couples can find a more intimate experience with each other and with God. These proven methods show couples how to develop a more sensitized bond, open up to the sacred, embrace the personal God, and create a more contemplative marriage. The McDonalds use lectio divina--shared scripture reading--as the heart of the process to finding God as the hidden ground of love. The process helps couples give definition and substance to what they so often long for in their relationship. What's more, the process works even when couples are in the middle of turmoil and feel nothing but emptiness, making this a tool for healing as well as enrichment. Marital Spirituality is an excellent resource for pastors, Christian counselors, and premarriage educators. With its warmth, passion, sensitivity and readability, it's also meant for direct use by couples themselves.
