Family. We all have one. While some of us loved our ‘growing up’ years, others of us couldn’t wait to move out and start fresh. Most of us want something better for our kids and our marriage. But what exactly are we aiming for? And how do we get there?

Discussion Questions:

  1. What does it mean to be “generous” in a relationship? 

  2. Reading 1 Corinthians 13:1–7. What stands out to you? What would need to happen for you to be more protective, trusting, hopeful, and persevering? 

  3. Can you identify anything from your past (broken relationships, hurts, insecurities, etc.) that would lead you to unhealthy or unrealistic expectations? 

  4. Have you ever experienced someone approaching you before you had to go to them when their behavior created a gap? How did that affect your relationship? 

  5. Suspicion gives into insecurity and erodes intimacy, while trust believes the best and builds security into a relationship. What can you do to close the gap with someone this week?
