Many couples (even Christian ones) think that sleeping together is just about sex.

And that's really sad. But it's not their fault. It's what society teaches, and even what the English language clearly implies.

But it's not what God teaches, or what life teaches.

So we'd like to offer them some help. All of them. Not so much to prove how great God is, but just to help and enrich their relationships. Human beings need relationship just as much as we need food, shelter and clothing. If we can help people in their relationships, that's a good thing to do. If that helps to interest them in God too, that's exciting. But it's not the whole story.

So watch this space, and also the spot at evening prayer.

The Prayers

The original idea was that we'd only have one, a substitute evening prayer. But God's a laugh a minute. We now think this might grow to have a number of prayers. But here's the first, from an SMS between an actual couple.

That's as sent and unretouched. There's some curry in it, isn't there? We could write a more sophisticated one based on it, but we've decided to present it as is. Feel free to use it as a base for the prayer you need, and be assured that the csaug team pray for everyone who visits these pages.
