Guardrails #4 :: Me and the Mrs . {Andy & Sandra Stanley}

INTRODUCTION Do guardrails really work? Let’s hear from two people who have been intentional about setting up guardrails in order to protect the health of their relationship and their family.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Read Proverbs 27:12. While most people would agree with this wisdom, the challenge is often being

able to identify the oncoming danger. What can you do to identify danger?

2. What new guardrail are you planning to build in order to protect your relationships at home? 3. What new guardrail are you planning to build in order to protect your relationships at work? 4. What new guardrail are you planning to build in order to protect your finances? 5. What new guardrail are you planning to build in order to protect the balance between your work and

family life? 6. What other guardrails are you considering building as a result of this conversation? MOVING FORWARD Andy and Sandra Stanley shared several of the guardrails they’ve built into their lives. Those guardrails may not be models for everyone, but they’ve worked for them. Whether you agree with them or not, the bigger lesson is the need to be intentional about setting up guardrails. You’ll thank yourself for doing so some day. CHANGING YOUR MIND The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. -Proverbs 27:12
