interviews

We can’t do it alone! The experience of others helps us develop a new vision of marriage that encourages mutual growth through love. Here you’ll find our essential questions and one-page interviews.

Only-a-few-weeks-left-of-the-journey Reality Check: We’ve had a number of interesting conversations, and many reflections. But regular interviews didn’t happen. Read below on why we think this original goal didn’t come to be this time.

Essential Questions

We seek the wisdom of others to understand what marriage entails, and how we might build a loving, lasting, and supportive union. Here is the list we’ll ask people, and ourselves, as we go.

  1. Why did you, or why did you not, get married?

  2. What does love look like to you? How would you define love?

  3. How are love and marriage the same, different? Where do they converge/diverge?

  4. Why should one marry, why is it worthwhile?

  5. What does marriage provide that no other relationship(s) can? Is there something unique to marriage that can’t be provided through other forms?

  6. What is your greatest challenge in your marriage?

  7. How or what are the ways to overcome this challenge?

  8. Why do you think so many marriages fail, or are unhappy?

  9. What is the secret to a content, loving, lasting, supportive, marriage?

  10. What question(s) should we ask of ourselves, and of the other, before we get married?
