Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The Chans open by acknowledging that most people come to a marriage book looking for practical help with their relationship. How did you come to this book, and what were you hoping to find?
2.Francis and Lisa argue from the outset that the greatest threat to a marriage is not conflict or neglect, but misplaced priority — making the marriage itself the ultimate goal. Does this diagnosis surprise you? Why or why not?
3.The introduction sets up an eternal frame for the entire book. In your own words, what does it mean to view your marriage through an 'eternal lens'?
a.How does this differ from how most couples — or even most Christian couples — tend to think about marriage?
b.What practical difference might this shift in perspective make on a Tuesday morning when you and your spouse are annoyed with each other?
