Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Day 29 is a turning point — it directly addresses the spiritual condition of the person doing the dare, not just their behavior. The dare invites the reader to consider whether they have truly surrendered their life to God. How did you respond to that dare?

a.What does it imply about the limits of self-effort in marriage?
b.What does it say about what your spouse ultimately needs from you?
3.Ephesians 5 describes marriage as a picture of Christ and the church. The authors lean heavily on this passage. What does it mean for a husband to love his wife 'as Christ loved the church'? What does it mean for a wife to respect her husband?
