Marriage doesn’t usually change through one big moment. Most of the time it changes quietly. It happens in the middle of regular days, through small choices couples make again and again. A short prayer. A kind word. A moment of patience when the day feels heavy. Spiritual Intimacy in Marriage invites couples back to those simple moments, where faith and love slowly grow stronger together.
About The Author
Shannon Abel
Dr. Shannon Marie Abel didn’t begin writing because she wanted to publish books.
She began writing because of conversations. Over the years, through teaching and ministry work, she found herself talking with people who were trying to understand how faith actually fits into everyday life. Not just during church services or special events, but in the middle of normal routines.
Those conversations shaped the way she writes today.
Dr. Abel believes faith often grows in ordinary moments. A quiet prayer. A thoughtful conversation. A pause in the middle of a stressful day.
She writes the way she speaks: honestly, without pretending life is always simple.
Outside of writing, she spends much of her time with family in Virginia. Life there is filled with the usual rhythms: work, conversations around the table, time outdoors, and the occasional long talk over coffee with friends.
Those everyday experiences shape the heart of her writing. Her goal isn’t to provide perfect answers. She simply hopes readers discover that God often meets us right in the middle of ordinary life.
About The book
Spiritual Intimacy
IN Marriage
Some couples start marriage believing that connection will always come naturally. Life has a way of proving otherwise.
Work gets busy. Schedules fill up. Conversations start revolving around responsibilities instead of the deeper things that once felt easy to talk about.
Spiritual Intimacy in Marriage was written for couples who want to bring those deeper moments back.
The devotional doesn’t ask for long hours of study or complicated routines. Instead, it introduces a gentle daily rhythm. A short moment in the morning. A brief pause during the day. A few minutes together in the evening. That’s it.
Each day centers around a piece of Scripture that couples carry with them from morning to night. Sometimes the verse sparks a conversation. Sometimes it simply sits quietly in the back of the mind throughout the day.
Over three months, these small moments begin to feel natural. Couples often notice subtle changes. They listen more carefully. They respond with more patience. They start remembering why they chose each other in the first place.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s simply showing up together, day after day.

Exercise The Word
I will admit it, I need to exercise. I’m the person who has stress build-up and body issues. Exercise has been a regular part of my life since.

The Tattooed Christian
A tattoo is a personal and permanent mark on the body. It can be an elaborate design or a simple word. A tattoo can be seen as a blemish to some or a work of art to others.

Why Small Habits Matter in Marriage
Most couples expect big moments to strengthen their relationship.
A special trip. A deep conversation. A moment where everything suddenly feels clear again.
Those moments matter. But they’re not usually what shapes a marriage long term.
What shapes a marriage are the smaller habits.
