If you know someone with years of a solid marriage, they will tell you they learn something new about their partner all the time! Those who grow old together and stay in love, respect and learn from their partner. First, take the time to reflect upon what each sentence means to you, then fill in the blank. Ask your partner to do the same (at a different time, of course). Print these.  Then, increase your intimacy by sharing your answers. You may be surprised at the things you learn.  If you'd like to share your responses with other readers, click on the submit button. See the note below. We'd appreciate hearing from you.
