To Rekindle ROMANCE in marriage, you must Notice Your Interactions. If you and your spouse went out to your front yard, turned around and looked at your house, how would you describe what it's like to live in your house with one another? Do you interact with your spouse as you would with someone at work? As a roommate? Or as a business partner? 

For discussion with your spouse after you listen:

1. What is it like to live in the house with me?
2. Do you treat your spouse more like an employee, a business partner or a roommate than a lover, companion and ally? If so, what needs to change?
3. Take a look at the list of the One Another's of Scripture together. How might these relational imperatives inform our interactions as husband and wife?
