Friendly Feud Questions & Answers

For the few of you that may not know, I am a co-coordinator for the MOPS group on our military base. MOPS stands for: Mothers Of Pre-schoolers. We meet twice a  month with food, fellowship & guest speakers. Today I was the "guest speaker".

My topic was Blessing Your Spouse, based off the book: The Husband Project.


I wanted to start off the morning with a game. So, for the last couple months I've been annoyingly emailing family, friends & acquaintances asking them to fill out a short survey. I asked all my women friends, to ask their husbands, the following questions. I asked my male friends to send in their answers.

I wanted the women in our group to be thinking about communication. You won't know how to bless your husband, if you don't find out what he considers a blessing. While playing this game the women were supposed to be answering the way their husbands would.

Here are the results of my little survey:

1. Name something you think about most often:

Family
Work
Finances
Sex
The future

2. Name something your might do to relax:

Movies/TV
Hobbies: Video/Computer games, Shooting, Guitar, Building, etc
Reading
Nap
Exercise / Go for a walk

3. What is something you wish your wife were less comfortable doing
in front of you?

Going to the bathroom
Farting
Talking about or doing anything related to your period
Burping
Picking your nose

4. What is something you think you should take turns doing with your spouse?

Household Chores (top 3: laundry, dishes, Garbage)
Taking care of the kids
Yard work
Cleaning out the car(s)
Paying the bills/ Doing the budget

5. What is something your wife can do, to make you feel loved?

Tell me you love and/or appreciate me
Make my favorite foods
Sex
Hugs & Kisses
Show interest in my hobbies/do my hobbies with me

A lot of us were surprised by the answers. Well, not so much what the answers were. More like, the order that some of them came in. Thank you so much to those of you who participated in sending me your answers! I think most of the ladies really enjoyed the game. Hopefully it will inspire some wives to communicate and see what their own husbands would say.
