Start here
Eight sessions, two of you, one hour at a time
Each session follows the same shape, so you always know where you are. Read it together, or read it apart and bring your answers — both work.
- 1Warm up — A light question to get you both talking.
- 2Watch — A short video from Bill & Stephanie. Scan the code, or skip it — every session stands on its own.
- 3Read & reflect — The teaching, a story from our marriage, and Scripture.
- 4Write — Space for your own honest answers. Write before you talk.
- 5Talk — Couple Conversation questions. This is where the work actually happens.
- 6This week — One small thing to carry out the door.
About the codes in this book
Every code in these pages points to our own site, not straight to a video. That means we can improve a tool or move a video without your book going out of date. Scan with your phone camera — no app needed. Prefer to type? The short address is printed under each code.
A few honest suggestions
- Write it out — in the book or on the site, whichever you’ll actually do. Slowing down to put words to it is the whole point.
- Answer for yourself, not for the version of you that you’d like your spouse to see.
- Don’t rush to fix. Most of these questions want to be heard more than solved.
- Miss a week? Pick it up where you left off. This is not a streak.
- A B+ is perfect. Finished beats flawless every single time.
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12
