The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. — Proverbs 20:5
Comment
It’s easy to assume we already know everything about our partner — their reactions, thoughts, preferences. But staying curious keeps a relationship alive. It reminds us that the person we love is still growing, still becoming, still full of layers yet to be discovered.
Curiosity says, “Tell me more.” It replaces assumptions with wonder, frustration with understanding, and distance with connection. When we approach each other with curiosity rather than certainty, intimacy is renewed.
Reflection
What question could you ask your partner this week that invites deeper understanding?
Prayer suggestion (as a couple)
Invite God to help you see each other with fresh eyes and open hearts.
Prayer suggestion (for another couple)
Pray for a couple who may feel disconnected — that curiosity would reopen their connection.
Final quote
“Curiosity is the gateway to intimacy.”
