Divine Intimacy in Marriage

Most people believe that deep union with God belongs almost exclusively to monks, mystics, and consecrated religious. But married people are called to that same intimacy - and their marriage can be the very path that leads them there.

Dan and Stephanie Burke know what it means to carry wounds into a marriage. They have walked through violence, brokenness, and divorce. And they have experienced the healing, peace, and communion that awaits all who surrender their lives to Christ. In this illuminating book, the Burkes share what they discovered: that the journey of a holy marriage mirrors one of the greatest love stories ever written, the one St. Teresa of Avila unveiled in her mystical masterpiece, The Interior Castle.

As Dan and Stephanie break open the "Divine Intimacy Secret," you will discover:

• How God blesses your yes and leads you into freedom and light
• Two spiritual practices that move you from the outer rooms of the castle into its heart
• Three elements of a lasting, fruitful prayer life
• Practical tools to fight for your spouse instead of against him or her
• The key, given to us by the saints, to help our spouse reach Heaven
• How suffering in marriage, when united to Christ, becomes a path to holiness
• How self-giving love opens the door to healing and sanctification

Bonus resources include a Plan of Love template and a Marriage Examen to help you grow in daily communion with God and your spouse.

This book will help launch your journey into the heart of the castle. As you learn to place God at the center of your marriage, speak your spouse's love language, offer feedback, and forgive, you will discover that marriage is more than a vocation - it is a path to divine intimacy. Step by step, room by room, God will draw you deeper into His love until your marriage becomes a living reflection of Christ's love for His Church.
