Love with Intention: 4 Questions to Ask Your Spouse
Be patient and attentive as you seek to uncover your spouse’s hopes, dreams and fears that are not revealed in ordinary, everyday conversations. Ask these questions:- What are your spouse’s major priorities? Go beyond the daily to-do list to discover what he or she really wants to get out of life in the next year, five years and ten years down the road.
- Does he or she have the right balance between work and rest? What can you do to help maintain a healthy sense of balance?
- Is your spouse confident and secured of your love and fidelity? How can you strengthen the trust level in your marriage?
- Does your spouse struggle with responsibilities, relationships or issues of character?
