33 Questions to Test Your Love
Navigate

Part I: ReadMe

Beloved Agah
*Agah Petos* is the name we shall give to some person whom you love -- or whom you THINK you love. We'll call that person *Agah* for short.

Two Questions

#1 How MUCH do you love Agah?
#2 How MUCH does Agah love you?

God's Yardstick

To answer the above two questions, God gave you a Yardstick for measuring The Muchness of Love.
That Yardstick is quoted in the panel alongside.

God's Yardstick for Measuring Love...

Love suffers long and is kind
Love does not envy
Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up
Love does not behave rudely
Love does not seek its own
Love is not provoked
Love thinks no evil
Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.

1 Cor 13.4-8a

Part III of this page gives you a series of 33 Yes/No questions to ask yourself. Those questions will help you to...

Understand God's Yardstick for Love.
Measure the depth of your love for Agah.

On a scale of 0 to 100, keep score as you answer each of the 33 questions...

100 means totally "Yes"
0 means totally "No"
P.S. You can also ask yourself those same questions about Agah's love for YOU -- that is, if you think you can accurately predict what is inside Agah's head and heart.

Part II of this page [the panels just beneath this one] show my own personal answers to the 33 questions listed in Part III. I answered them using my beloved wife of nearly 50 years as "Agah."

I tried hard to be honest BUT... I wonder what score my wife would give me?

Part III: Love Quiz

God's Yardstick

7) Do you want to freely and joyfully share your time and worldly possessions with Agah?

9) Are you open and honest with Agah; do you NOT try to hide your errors and flaws from Agah?
10) Do you freely share your deepest, innermost feelings [hopes, fears, worries, joys] with Agah, even when doing so might make you look weak or foolish?

18) Do you never ever intentionally embarrass Agah in front of others?
19) Do you never ever reveal what Agah has told to you in confidence?

23) Do you NOT look for hidden meanings or innuendoes behind Agah's statements?

24) When Agah confesses a wrong and asks forgiveness, are you quick to forgive?
25) When Agah seeks your forgiveness, do you NOT require Agah to grovel -- to say "I'm sorry" again & again & again -- before you will forgive Agah?
26) Is it true that, when you forgive Agah for a wrong, you never ever mention that wrong again?

God's Yardstick
Love does not rejoice in iniquity -- Doesn't gloat over the wickedness of others. Doesn't rejoice when others "get what's coming to them.

27) Do you NOT make excuses for your wrongs and weaknesses, even when Agah has done those same wrongs or has those same weaknesses?
28) If Agah treats you badly or unfairly, and someone catches Agah doing it, do you NOT gloat over Agah's embarrassment and pain?

God's Yardstick

29) Do you readily accept it when Agah reveals true but ugly facts about yourself or your beliefs?
30) When you discover a helpful truth, do you reveal it to Agah, even when doing so might damage your reputation in Agah's eyes?

God's Yardstick
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things -- Love knows no limit to its endurance. No end to its trust. No fading of its hope. Always protects. Always perseveres.

31) Do you continue to give love and kindness to Agah, even when Agah is being mean and unloving toward you?
32) Do you defend Agah when doing so can make you unpopular or even put you in danger?

God's Yardstick
Love never fails -- Love is, in fact, the ONE thing that still stands when all else has fallen. Love has no end.

33) Are you fully committed to work through any and all problems that might come up in your relationship with Agah?
