Wives: How to be Happily Married
The Man In the Mirror - Patrick Morley Chapter 9
Wives: How to be happily married.
Are you less than happily married? Perhaps you are not unhappy, but you sense you are missing out on the best that marriage can offer. Have your wife read this chapter, and then spend some time together answering the sixteen following questions, entitled "Questions to Discuss with Your Spouse." Make a habit of talking about matters that matter.
Questions to Discuss with Your Spouse(Spend twenty minutes together daily for thirty days --- form a habit.)
1. What are three to five things about me that you really like?
2. What are two things I do which you wish I would stop doing or change?
3. Where are you on your spiritual pilgrimage?
4. What do you think is the purpose of your life?
5. What is something we could do together in our spare time?
6. What is a trip you've always dreamed of taking?
7. What are your greatest regrets about your life?
8. What has been your biggest disappointment?
9. How do you feel about how the kids are turning (have turned) out?
10. If you could change any one thing about your life, what would it be?
11. If you had no one else to answer to, what would you like to be doing in five years? Ten years? In retirement?
12. What is one tangible way I can better express my love for you?
13. Each put an "X" where you think you are and where your partner is:
• Men: Love I----------I----------I Hate

Discuss why your answers are different. Discuss each other's willingness to change.
14. Which of the four types of marriages do we have?
15. What practical steps could I/you take to have a "love and submit" marriage?
