Ten Questions Every Husband Should Ask His Wife Annually
Tom Elliff
Every year, Tom and Jeannie Elliff get away for a private retreat. Once, while sharing a meal in an intimate restaurant, Tom asked Jeannie the following questions — he wanted to listen to his wife's words and hear from her heart.
These ten questions have become an annual exercise as Tom seeks to follow the apostle Peter's exhortation: You husbands likewise, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, since she is a woman, and grant her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. -- 1 Peter 3:7 (NASB)
