  5. When a tragedy occurred in this story, Hannah blamed her husband and pulled away from him emotionally as well as physically. What are some ways we can work through a tragedy without blaming someone else?

  6. Bonnie felt guilty for something she’d done when she was a teenager and was afraid to tell Allen about it. Is there ever a time when we should keep information about our past from a loved one?

  7. Allen had a hard time forgiving Bonnie for not telling him about her past. He not only felt betrayed but wasn’t sure he could trust her anymore. How can being unwilling to forgive others affect our relationship not only with that person, but also with God? What does the Bible say about forgiveness?
