At first this seems like a rather personal question. We have been asked this question many times and the answer varies from "Awesome" to "Boy I wish you hadn't asked us that!". The truth is, we are glad when someone asks us because they care about us and know the power dialogue has in a marriage. Many people think that the couples who attend Sharing Circles are the "perfect ones". They must be the couples who dialogue every day and go to every WWME convention and have perfect marriages right? WRONG!
A Sharing Circle is simply a monthly opportunity to spend time with other couples who are also trying to live the dream. They too are struggling on a daily basis to fit in dialogue in between soccer games, dance recitals, BBQs, vacation, work travel, ill family members, etc.
This is why, even when we haven't dialogued since the last Sharing Circle, we go anyway. Marriage is a process and no one ever arrives at perfection! A Sharing Circle is our monthly opportunity to get refreshed and rejuvenated and reinforce our commitment to God, each other and our community.
Why not make today the day you recommit to dialoguing? We have even made friendly bets with fellow WWME couples to see who can dialogue for the most consecutive days! Here are some tips and guidelines for dialoguing including how to describe feelings, a list of feeling words, and a giant list of questions you could use.
