• How long has it been since your previous marriage ended? How did it end? Why did you decide to remarry?
  • Who were the people you turned to for support during the breakup of your first marriage? Was your current spouse one of those people?
  • What differences are there between your current relationship and your previous one? What similarities have you noticed?
  • What have you learned from your past marriage (e.g. about your needs, feelings, goals, the way you handle stress, the way you handle another person’s anger)?
  • In what ways do you believe you have grown to be a better spouse through what you have learned?
  • How are the qualities of commitment, trust, forgiveness, and hope exhibited in this marriage?
  • Did you anticipate remarriage being in some way a “cure” for the effects of divorce? What has surprised you?
  • I believe that the most important relationship in your life is the one you have with Jesus Christ. Can you tell me what you believe about that?
