ABSTRACT
In terms of dyads, it is possible for two people to endorse the same religion while having two different approaches to its practice. It is relatively easy to detect difference when one person is a Muslim and the other is a Christian. It is not so easy when both are Christian. Also, as in other things, there is difference that attracts and there is difference that separates. Just as bodily impressions inform us about our position in space and our sense of balance, proprioception of the spirit yields information about our position relative to God and the quality of balance in our relationship with God. People have more or less capacity in this area; so they need to attune to one another so that their relationship with God becomes something that enhances their relationship with one another. This chapter deals with the influence of religion and spirituality for couples. It addresses legalism and rigidity and relative differences people in relationships exhibit with regard to the issue of intimacy with God.
