Can spiritual intimacy with your spouse be attained? I think so, assuming of course that you are both like minded in what you believe. Marriage between man and wife, is a reflection of man and God. Imagine soul to soul closeness, I think its the deepest level of connection one can have with another human being. Spiritual intimacy occurs when you completely give yourselves and your relationship over to God. Your relationship grows as you live by his will and your goal is to please him.
Living and loving in a biblical way is a joy, its not a sacrifice. Its a easy yoke and not a burden. Life always happens, no matter what you do. If you have a strong foundation in Christ, then it seems the issues that people face now with relationships wouldn't happen. Of course, you would still have hurdles to jump occasionally. Things wouldn't be perfect, But divorce would never happen and people would learn to get along and love each other, or die miserable. The difference in a Biblical marriage and today's marriage is, its not about you. Its about your spouse and the two of you as one. Today's marriages are sometimes selfish. There's not that bond that is stronger than the problems folks face. Society views marriage today as a test drive, If this one doesnt work out, I can remarry and be happy. Selfishness has no place in a marriage. Its about serving God by serving each other.
