"Better Questions Lead to a Better Marriage" by Pastor Erin Herndon

​Proverbs 24:3-4 says “By wisdom a house is built, through understanding it is established…. it’s rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.” Marriage takes the wisdom from God to be built on a strong foundation. The meaning of wisdom comes from both divine and earthly wisdom.   Heeding wisdom in marriage in part would be seeking to understand one another.  My husband Jo-Jo is a great listener because he asks excellent questions.  He doesn’t just scratch the surface. He digs deeper and deeper, little by little, often helping me to get at the root.   He seeks to understand and bring understanding by helping me articulate in my own words treasures that are deep inside. Create a culture of understanding in your marriage by learning to ask thoughtful questions that lead to great dialogue.  This will only add treasures and increase in understanding one another.
