The Sacred Driven Couple Workbook

About the Book

The Sacred-Driven Couple, is a Christian-centered approach designed to help couples who desire more from their relationships.  Using the Holy Bible, the author offers spiritual tools for sharpening and enriching relationship skills.  The author spells out 12 Acknowledgements that every couple pursuing sacredness in their relationship should incorporate into their everyday lives.  It helps individuals to rediscover and deepen the spiritual persons inside themselves.  With over four million people getting married each year in this country alone, and over half of those ending in divorce before the 7-year point, there is a need to go back basics. 

In this book, the author spells out The Sacred-Driven Couple’s 12 Acknowledgements, basic, foundational information that will get your relationship back on course.  Each couple must accept and integrate these acknowledgements into their individual lives to become a sacred-driven couple together and to reach that level of spiritual intimacy.  It creatively compares the stages of the caterpillar’s development into a beautiful butterfly with the stages required in each of the 12 Acknowledgements. Each chapter reveals a sacred secret, one to be shared exclusively between that couple. The author also carefully integrates his own personal relationship struggles to help those facing similar situations implement a simple, but profound, step-by-step plan to increase the vitality in all of your relationships, especially the one with God. 

He describes spiritual intimacy and tells you how to acquire that level of oneness in your own relationships.  After reading this book and implementing the basic plan it describes, you too will say:  “You are not living until you are sacred-driven!”

Using the colorful illustrations of the caterpillar’s development into a butterfly, the author correlates those stages with relationship development.  The final goal of spiritual intimacy is reached when the couple can declare, “You are not living until you are sacred-driven!”
