What was your image of a family while you were growing up?
What was your image of a family in your previous marriage?
What is your image of an ideal stepfamily now?
How are these images the same?
How are they different?
What do you believe is your role in the marriage relationship? What do you believe is your spouse’s role?
What do you believe is your role in parenting your own children and your spouse’s children?
If you don’t mind me asking, how did your previous marriage end? Do you feel there was adequate time for you and for your children to heal before entering into your current relationship?
How healthy is your relationship with your former spouse? How healthy is your spouse’s relationship with their former spouse?
How well are you and your former spouse able to communicate regarding concerns for your children? Are there any changes you’d like to see in that area?
How secure are the children in their relationship with their non-custodial parent? Are there any changes you’d like to see there?
I believe the most important relationship in your life is the one you have with Jesus. Can you tell me what that means to you?
