COLUMBIA, S.C., March 19, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- For the Christian couple looking for a source of inspiration in their pursuit of a stronger relationship, Steven L. Jordan Sr.'s new book, The Sacred-Driven Couple: A Spiritual Pilgrimage Towards Creative and Relationship Wellness (now available through 1stBooks), offers tools for building spiritual intimacy in a marriage.
Using the Bible as a primary resource, Jordan outlines "The Sacred-Driven Couple's 12 Acknowledgements," which are basic tenets of a Christian, loving partnership. This book tells couples exactly how to develop a level of closeness and relationship with God that is centered on Christ and unbreakable.
"(Spiritual intimacy) transcends human understanding and expressions of intimacy and introduces the recipient to a closer walk, daily communion and stronger connection with God," Jordan writes. "As God is the greatest lover that ever loved, it stands to reasons that He would be the best suited to teach us how to love each other."
The Sacred-Driven Couple offers a step by step plan that strengthens the bonds between two people in a relationship. Using the clever metaphor of a caterpillar developing into a beautiful butterfly, Jordan establishes the spiritual element that a Christian couple needs to facilitate a real change in their connections to God and their mate.
Jordan is a trained traumatologist, licensed addiction therapist, registered behavioral therapist, certified pastoral counselor, board certified chaplain and licensed counselor and facilitator for several of the most current marital and therapy trends. He has worked in the therapy field for more than 25 years. A Connecticut native, he earned bachelor's degrees from San Francisco State University, a master's degree from the Pacific School of Religion and a doctorate of philosophy from Columbia Pacific University. Jordan and his wife Paulette, who is also a minister and educator, conduct weekend retreats for couples, singles and military personnel. The Sacred-Driven Couple is his first book.
