It's something they've done for 14 years already, even before Promise Keepers started in Canada. It starts with a session on spiritual oneness, showing how a marriage must be based on a husband and wife developing personal connections with God and then sharing their faith with each other. There's no marriage that doesn't have a problem. We feel that prayer is important between you and God and each other and God. Masterson, in the area already to teach a week-long sessional at Peace River Bible Institute, said men need to take a lead role in spiritual intimacy.
Husbands have a problem with spiritual passivity.
Men don't take that spiritual initiative. The second session builds on the first. Soul oneness is about building connections between husband and wife at the heart level, becoming best friends, encouraging one another and understanding your partner's hopes and fears. It's difficult for men to open up, feel vulnerable, Masterson said, speaking from personal experience. In their 15th year of marriage, his wife asked him what he needed her for that any other woman couldn't give him.
