Spousal Prayer: A Way to Marital Happiness by Deacon James Keating PhD - Discontinued
Deacon
James Keating's newest book, Spousal Prayer: A Way to Marital
Happiness affirms that the sharing of hearts is a necessary
commitment in both marriage and prayer. If we can learn what the key
elements to sharing the heart are and equally what the key elements
to receiving the heart of another are, then we will know the greatest
of intimacy in both prayer and marriage. The mingling of the love of
spouse with and in the love of God is and has always been the
foundation for a life of peace, creativity, and vibrancy, not to
mention sanctity. In fact, we cannot even understand what marriage is
unless we look at how Christ loved His Bride, the Church, till the
end (Jn 13:1). For the baptized, Christ has joined His love for the
Church to the Sacrament of Marriage and Marriage, to His love for the
Church. Each couple is called to allow Jesus to bring them into this
great love of His. The couple is not supposed to do all the work of
love; they are called to let Jesus gift them with His own spousal
love. In other words, couples should let Jesus live His spousal love
for the Church over again in their own love for one another. They do
this by simply asking Him in prayer to do so and by sharing their
needs and desires with Him. Marriage is not a self-help relationship;
it is a deep partnership with Christ.
