If you're on twitter a must-follow is @themarriagebed. I read a tweet from them re-tweeted by one of Scott and my sister, Megan's teachers at Hillsong, and I was hooked. They post some amazing marital advice and many times articles that are SO helpful. This was one of those articles. It's from www.familylife.com . Another helpful website I suggest investing in! Here goes.
1. Do you feel I properly understand the goals that God has placed in your heart? How can I help you achieve them?
2. What are some things I can do to regularly show you just how satisfied I am with you as my husband and the leader of our home?
3. Is there anything I am doing or failing to do that seems to send a signal that I do not honor you or your leadership in our home?
4. Is there anything I can change to make our home a place where you feel more satisfied and comfortable?
5. Are there any big dreams in your heart that you have been hesitant to share with me| How can I help you fulfil them?
6. How do you feel we can begin communicating better than we already are?
7. Do you feel that there is anything keeping either one or both of us from God's best in our lives? What should be my part in freeing us from those restraints?
8. Are we where you wanted us to be at this stage in life? How can I help you make that possible within God's guidelines?
9. How do you envision our future together? What can we do together to achieve that goal?
10. What can I do to show you how much I need and trust you?
WOW! I don't know about you, but these questions are so raw and get to the route of it, don't you think? What a powerful thing this could be if couples committed themselves to asking these tough questions, and then REALLY trying to do everything they can to achieve the answers the spouse gives.
Tomorrow, I'm going to look and see if they have a list of questions for husbands to ask their wives, and then post it. Hope you enjoy!
