Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Looking back over the whole book, which chapter or concept hit you hardest — the one that most directly exposed something that needs to change in you? What made it land with such force?

Has this proven true in your experience over the course of this study? Have you noticed any shift in how you feel about your spouse as you have tried to cherish more intentionally?
3.When you arrived at the beginning of this study, you were asked to identify your honest hope for what it would do in your marriage. Return to that hope now. How has God answered it, surprised it, or redirected it?
