Preparation

Bring a notebook. Be prepared to dream together while remaining grounded in reality.

Questions

1. What does 'serving the Lord as a household' practically look like for us?
2. If we are blessed with children, how do we plan to disciple them and teach them the faith?
3. What are our non-negotiables when it comes to church involvement and community?
4. How do we define success and wealth, and does that align with biblical principles?
5. How will we make major decisions (like career changes or moving)?
6. What is our approach to hospitality and using our home to serve others?
7. How do we view our time, and are we leaving margin for rest and Sabbath?
8. In what ways do our families of origin differ in values, and how will we forge our own path?
9. How can we ensure we are continually growing intellectually and spiritually together?
10. What is one legacy you hope people remember about our family fifty years from now?
