Couples Open Heart Discussion Guide

Choose a day and time that you and your partner can have complete privacy for at least 2 hours. Preferably the beach, park, hotel, bedroom, etc. No kids. Please leave them with a sitter.
 
Man will ask the first question as the initiator (HEAD). With each question you will give your partner up to 5 minutes of uninterrupted time answer.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ANSWER, ARGUE OR DEBATE THEIR ANSWERS!!!! JUST LISTEN!!!
 
As they answer please listen with an intent to have peace and pray for God to help you see the heart of your partner and not just their words. Sometimes when people are hurt or depressed they can use offensive words that don't convey their true emotions properly. They are angry because they love you and feel like they are losing control or have been violated, disrespected or ignored!
 
Be civil and respectful. The Holy Spirit is teaching you about yourself as they speak. It may be extremely painful. There is “gain without pain”. Transformation through these intimate sessions are greater than any other experience.You are “one” with your partner. God molds us into the image of Christ through this “One Flesh” relationship more than any other relationship on earth. Marriage is His design. Embrace the pain  and watch how He heals and changes you through “Open Heart Discussions”.
1. How have I been making you feel this last week with my actions & attitudes?
 
2. Is there anything I can do to make you feel more special and loved?
 
3. How has your job or daily responsibilities been? Do you feel good or bad about your success?
 
4. How has your relationship with God been? Do you feel loved, encouraged, abandoned, or challenged by Him?
 
5. How are your friendships going? Are cultivating friendships with good friends?
 
6. How is your health? How have you been taking care of your body and mind?
 
7. How has my physical affection, foreplay and sexual interaction been pleasing to you?
 
8. What can I do to stir up your romance and sexual appetite?
 
9. How can I pray for you today?

Close the session in prayer for each other and over the issues you presented as you were communicating. Each of you should pray for 5-10 minutes. Authentically ask God for forgiveness and help for yourself and your partner. Let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart as your partner prays.Listen for His still small voice. Prayer enables you to give up control over issues in your relationship and soul you cannot change. Only God can change hearts, attitudes, and actions as we cooperate with Him by faith! As they say “Let go and let God”!
