Here are some reflection questions for you, your family, C-groups or friends to help you process, discuss and apply this Sundays message.​​

​

• How does Solomon's story change your perspective on the beautiful love poetry in Song of Songs? Does knowing the ending make the beginning less meaningful?

• The sermon mentions that Solomon 'didn't lose his marriage in a moment but drifted away through a thousand small, unchallenged, and justified decisions.' What are some small compromises that we might make in life that could lead to bigger problems?

• Which of the four areas of drift (loving God to loving pleasure/power, conviction to compromise, community to isolation, legacy to impulse) do you think is most dangerous for marriages today? Why?

• How can couples 'discuss and decide their marriage convictions and boundaries before they become tired, lonely, and tempted'? What might this look like practically?

• The message emphasizes staying embedded in community and having friends who can tell you the truth. How can we intentionally build this kind of accountability into their lives?

• What does it mean to keep God 'central, not supplemental' in marriage? How might couples practically ensure their faith remains at the center of their relationship?

• The sermon asks two legacy questions: 'What do we want our last day of marriage to look like?' and 'What story do we want to tell our grandchildren?' How would you answer these questions?

• For those who feel their marriage has already drifted significantly, what hope does the gospel offer? How can God resurrect what seems dead in a relationship?
