One of the things that has been extremely helpful for us has been opening the lines of communication. It is amazing how good things can be when communication is good. It is amazing how bad things can be when communication is bad.
On our date this past weekend, we talked through the following questions (which I ripped off from Perry Noble):
1. What is the most romantic thing I have ever done for you?
2. What is something fun that we could do together?
3. How can I pray for you?
4. What can I do this week to relieve stress from your life?
5. What is one thing that you would change about our marriage?
Talking through these questions, gave us both the opportunity to discuss things that could be potential problems. I have even tried to improve in some areas this week, so that our marriage is better.
The bottom line is that I love Joni and I want to do everything within my power to lead my family well…even if it is a little painful at times! I’m willing to do all that I can to make that relationship the best it can be!!

Dude…
Great stuff. We just celebrated our 20 year anniversary this week and I plan on using these questions over breakfast this weekend when we go on a one night getaway.
Thanks for sharing…

Read both of these posts and agree completely. I can always tell when we stop communicating because we start irritating each other more. We have grown in and out of using the questions like these over the years. I’ll use your post to spark their use again. Thanks!
