The significance of each of the questions is clearly explained so you will know the why behind the questions you are asking each other The Authors' Story When Amy and I got married, we received some sound counsel from a wise friend, and what a difference it has made! Amy, as an elementary school counselor, is an extrovert. She is very accustomed to discussing challenges and feelings. I, Jordan, am a processing introvert. The natural place for me to sweep feelings and challenges is under the rug, to avoid having to face and deal with them. Our friend noted that if I, as her introverted husband, didn't take the lead in addressing our relationship, Amy might become resentful in the absence of such leadership. Your marriage may be inversed where the husband is the extrovert, and the wife is the introvert. Or perhaps, you are both extroverts and love to see the sparks fly, or you are two introverts, and remove yourselves to your respective caves .Regardless of your personality type, communication is key to marriage. Often, spouses chat about surface issues but don't get down to the real issues in their conversations that either build or destroy marriages. This simple discussion guide ensures you and your spouse talk about the key questions that build intimacy consistently. Follow the weekly meeting guide in this book and you'll be amazed at the difference they can make in your marriage. We've shared the fact of how our weekly meeting has transformed our marriage with many friends and others. Every time we share, people ask, "What are the questions you ask each other?" It was this repeated request that made Amy and I decide we need to get this into a more accessible form. We hope this guide has as much of an impact on you as it has on us.
