It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the year. Time really does fly, doesn’t it? That’s why this is the perfect moment to slow down for just a second, not to stress about goals or calendars, but to take stock of how your family is actually doing.
Are you living out your values together? Is your home reflecting what matters most? Here are just a few things to keep in mind of family questions to ask.
Mid-year family check-ins don’t have to be complicated. You don’t need a weekend retreat or a 10-point plan. Sometimes all it takes is a few thoughtful family questions to ask each other around the dinner table or during a quiet moment.
These kinds of questions help you see where you’ve grown, what challenges you’ve faced, and where God is leading your family next. They also help realign your home around the things that truly matter—faith, connection, purpose.
