Communication

A couple of weeks back I stumbled upon an article on Pinterest entitled 10 Things that have made all the difference. It came from a blog written by a husband and wife called Today's love letters. In reading the article they were reflecting on their 5 year anniversary, and as a result came up with this list of 10 things that have improved their marriage. Under 1 of they headings they stated that the first 2 years of their marriage that they struggled to feel loved by one another because they didnt know how to communicate their needs, because of that they came up with 5 questions that they now ask each other every Sunday no matter what, and that it has made all the difference in the world. Here are the 5 questions:

1. How did you feel loved this past week?
2. What does your upcoming week look like?
3. How would you feel most loved and encouraged in the days ahead?
4. How would you best feel pursued in sex/ intimacy this week?
5. How can I pray for you this week?

 I thought that this was a pretty neat idea at least to try and see how it works in your relationship. Lets face it, in most relationships are lacking in communication in some form. It is always great to get ideas from other couples to see how they deal with various issues. In addition to this couple asking the 5 questions above, they also stated that they interview each other all the time, because no matter how long you have been with someone you will never know everything about them.
