28 years of marriage can teach you plenty about life! I am so thankful to be able to present 11 Questions Your Husband Wishes You Would Ask Him!
What makes a marriage successful?
It is not the absence of conflict or romantic notions every day of the week. Marriage is a gift but a gift that takes a lot of work. One of the ways we as wives can encourage and help our husbands is by getting to know them better. To really study them as individuals! Marriage takes place over a lifetime, we as wives will hopefully be investing in our husband’s hopes and dreams. People change over the years so consistently asking good questions about what your husband needs at each stage of marriage is so very important. What makes a marriage successful is loving your husband as much as you love yourself. It is not really glamorous or romantic but there you have it.
In order to write this post, I have surveyed several men, including my husband to come up with this list of questions. It is important to keep asking questions at whatever stage of marriage you are in because the answers will continue to change as you and your husband grow in the fear and admonition of the Lord. I thought this would be an easy post as I have practiced this discipline over the 28 years of my marriage but coming up with a list of ALL HUSBANDS was more of a challenge. Every guy is different so feel free to add to this list of questions to better accommodate where you and your husband are in a marriage.

What question would you add to the list?
Blessings,
It’s so true that you change as a person, but don’t consider that your spouse may have changed. Great conversation starters Janelle! I also enjoyed the photos of you and the hubby 🙂
Thanks Megan!
Yes! I’ll be asking my husband these over the course of a week or so. Too many questions at once would stress him out! Hehe. Sometimes I ask him if he’s ready for some alone time to work on a project. He’s into woodworking right now and prefers to not be interrupted when he’s in the ‘zone’.
I think it is a great idea to break them up! It requires a lot of thought and I think that might be hard! Great idea!!
This is a great list of questions and I’m going to be more intentional about asking some of these! I’ve found that my husband enjoys it when I ask him things about his work, too. It occupies a lot of his time and it helps me to be more understanding when I know the things he’s dealing with in that area.
I am so glad you liked them! Thank you for stopping by!
I have asked most of these to my husband this month alone. Number 7 is the one I wonder if I have ever asked. It’s now on TODAY’s to-do list. Thank you.
Blessings,
Thanks for stopping by Deborah! I am so glad you have good communication in your marriage…so very important. Thanks again for your encouraging words!
Hmmm, great questions! Some of these would be scary to ask but I can see how they would encourage discussion and deeper understanding of each other. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Hi Bonnie,
I am so glad you mentioned that some of the questions are scary to ask! The truth is they are…communication brings vulnerability and that is scary sometimes!
LOVE this list! Too often we women like to blog about what WE think guys want. I love how you went and got actual male opinions. Looks like they did a good job 🙂
Thanks Brittany! I always appreciate your encouragement!
Great list! I have asked my husband some of these questions and sometimes his answers surprise me. Oftentimes, I think I am serving him or doing things that would ease his stress, but really they are things that would easy MY stress if he did them for me. I love that all of these questions open up great conversations!
Thanks Jess for your comment! I agree…a good conversation is always the result!
Great list of conversation starters! I just read another similar post and it’s so good to have these kinds of questions on hand.
I think it’s really important to regularly ask our spouses what we can pray for them about so that’s my favorite of the list. But all of these are great ideas. Going to share and bookmark for ideas later. 🙂
God bless!
Sarah
