• Looking back, why did you originally get married?  What did you think it was going to be like?
  • Would you mind telling me a little about what has led you to the point of seeking a divorce? Any big milestone events, or more a series of small steps?
  • What are you most hoping to accomplish or avoid by seeking a divorce?
  • What steps have you taken before to restore your marriage?  Why do you think those steps were unsuccessful?
  • What do you believe God wants?  Do you still believe He is able to do the impossible?
  • As you’ve been considering divorce, who outside your marriage has influenced your decision?  What have they been saying?
  • How far has the divorce process advanced?
  • If you don’t mind me asking, are either you or your spouse involved in another relationship outside the marriage?
  • Have you considered the full impact on your children if you go through with this divorce?  Could we discuss that together?
  • Looking ahead, have you ever thought about how you will feel if/when another person becomes your child’s stepparent?
  • Would you be open to pushing the “pause button” on the divorce and giving God one last chance to restore your marriage?
  • I believe that the most important relationship in your life is the one you have with Jesus Christ.  Can you tell me about that part of your life and how it’s impacting your decisions?
  • How can I be an encouragement to you right now?
