For couples considering or living a marriage
The questions matter more than a score.
What Marriage Asks of Us helps two people discuss expectations, name differences, and decide which questions need more time or qualified help.
Begin with one conversation.
Money
What do we owe, own, spend, save, and expect the other person to know?
Children and family
What do we hope for, what could change, and which boundaries will we need?
Conflict and safety
How do we handle disagreement, repair harm, and recognize when a joint conversation is unsafe?
A useful answer can be “we need to talk again.”
Write down what you agree on, what you see differently, and when to return to the question. If pressure, fear, or coercion is present, prioritize private support instead of a joint exercise.
