Inside Pastor Craig & Amy’s Marriage | Q&A With Rachel Cruze

Proverbs 4:5-7 NLT

1. Thinking back to your own dating days, what advice would you give couples as they look toward marriage?

• We wanted to create a friendship that was based on Jesus.

• We weren’t following a checklist. Christ is our life.

2. How do you navigate the noise of today’s technology to break through façades and get to the real heart issues?

• As often as you can, don’t do screen to screen, but do face to face.

• Broaden it from just the two of you to your communities.

3. What would you say to couples about the importance of praying together?

• Consistency matters a lot.

• Doing a very little bit is indescribably more valuable than doing nothing.

• Our vision was “How can we serve Christ together?”

4. How do we set healthy emotional, spiritual, and physical boundaries in a dating relationship?

• Go slow on expressing deep emotions.

• You don’t want your relationship to take the place of God.

• Agree up front on your boundaries.

• Having accountability matters a lot.

5. What is the wisdom and benefit of waiting for sex?

• Honor marriage even before you’re married.

6. What is one word that describes your relationship overall?

• If there’s one word that sets our marriage apart, it’s the word “intentional.”

• You never accidentally have a great marriage.

7. In a world that applauds independence, how do you communicate what you need from each other in marriage?

• Humility and servanthood are key to a good marriage.

• We create an environment where issues can come up in a healthy way, and then we have to humble ourselves to listen.

8. What would you say to those trying to save a struggling marriage?

• Love from a place of grace.

• Invite community and a counselor to help.

• Let God do a work in you and pray that God would do a work in your spouse.

• God is a God of restoration.

Talk it over

• Read Proverbs 4:5-7. How do you typically seek out wisdom, and how might this Scripture change how you “get wisdom” in the future? • All relationships need healthy emotional, spiritual, and physical boundaries. Do any of your current relationships need boundaries? If so, how could you put a boundary in place this week? • What would it look like to put God first in all of your relationships? Are there any changes you could make to prioritize Him? • Start the Wisdom for Dating Bible Plan using Plans With Friends: www.go2.lc/dating
