For married couples

In a recent article by David & Heather Jackman on Marriage, I came across 'some key check up questions' that Christian married couples can helpfully ask themselves individually and one another:

1) Are we giving our marriage and home life quality time, or just the leftovers of the day?

 2) Are we still best friends? Is our relationship with one another still the most important in our lives? Do we each know that and do we tell one another often enough, by both words and actions?

 3) Do we support one another sufficiently in our family life? This involves unity and loyalty before the children, in their discipline, development and their spiritual progress.

 4) What initiatives are we taking to help one another grow in our knowledge and love of God? Are we giving each other time and space for personal Bible reading and prayer, or the opportunity to attend a study group? Where couples love God most, they find that they will love one another more and more.
