Discussion Questions
This concluding article was the basis for a 3-night study in a church setting. Afterward, the attendees were split up into groups and the following questions were discussed within each group and the top findings were then shared with the entire group.
The Four Part Series includes the following:
Part 1 – God, The Master Chef
Part 2 – The Marriage Curse and Its Antidote
Part 3 – Love and Respect
You may find the questions below helpful, with just your spouse, or, you may choose to present this series in your church or small group.

- To the husband, what says “I respect you” from your spouse?
- How often do you sit down as a couple simply to talk to one another? Do you set time aside specifically for this purpose? Why or why not?
