I just read an email from one of our couples that was a great reminder of just how difficult the questionnaire can be. Especially for those of us that have been married for a while. She stated that many tears were shed before she understood what a blessing the open and honest communication was. She went on to thank us and say that, ” these are things we might not have ever shared and now we have the opportunity to get real about it all.” When Paul and I exchanged our questionnaires some 10 years ago now if is makes you feel better, I cried too! I was really upset and thought that he was being unreasonable and superficial. For us it took some time to unpack some even deeper issues! We came to the place that we knew we had to begin with forgiveness on both of our parts. We confessed our short-comings to each other and made a fresh commitment to begin a new. One of the condition for this challenge to be successful (aside from having a relationship with Christ in the center) is to make sure that neither of you are harboring unforgiveness in any area of your life. So getting to the heart of the matter is making sure your hearts are right w/ God and each other.

Have a blessed Day!
