Learn About the Five Key Areas of Unity in Marriage Heart to Heart: Emotional Intimacy There is nothing like that feeling of falling in love and feeling deeply connected to your beloved. Trusting you will be received and cherished, you can share almost anything and everything. Be Devoted talks about how emotional intimacy is key to a lasting marriage. Bob Schuchts gives readers expert advice on keeping this intimacy alive in marriage. Hand in Hand: Daily Companionship Be Devoted explains how companionship in marriage is extremely important. We are all created with a basic innate need for companionship. We need to know that we belong and that our presence is desired by another human being. This sense of joyful belonging is what makes daily companionship so vital to a good marriage. Side by Side: Cooperative Teamwork Be Devoted emphasizes the value of teamwork in marriage. It is impossible to be of one mind and heart unless each spouse imitates and incarnates Christ’s Spirit by giving of themselves for the good of the other. Rooted in Christ: Spiritual Unity Marriages that are immersed in God’s all-encompassing love allow couples to remain connected with him and with each other. Be Devoted talks about how to practice spiritual unity in marriage to help couples avoid leaving that protective covering of God’s love and wandering off on their own so that they don't put themselves and their marriages in jeopardy. Body and Soul: Sexual Fulfillment Be Devoted gets to the roots of true intimacy of body and soul in marriage by following God’s intention. If we properly understand the “language of the body,” we can see that man and woman are “made for each other.” God created male and female in such a way that sexual union is meant to be a source of intense pleasure, nourishing intimacy, and abundant fruitfulness.
