Heather gives Mike a non-committal answer when he asks if the guy she's with is Steve Jeremiah. Do you understand why she did so? Do you understand her concern about how Steve wants such things handled? Do you think it's right to be evasive like that? How important do you think it is to consider your spouse's feelings when you're talking to other people?
There were times in the bible that Jesus told people to not tell about miracles he'd performed. Other times he basically told his family to not push him. He also sometimes wanted to be alone. See if you can find some of those instances. Can you figure out why Jesus wanted the anonymity or aloneness? If Jesus felt like that sometimes, what does that mean for us?
While your spouse might not be a famous figure, he or she still has confidences and feelings. Do you respect your spouse's wishes? If not, why not? Do you feel like your spouse respects you? Be specific but gentle about how you feel disrespected. What would be ways your spouse could respect you?
