Asking your spouse "How do you imagine God , when / if you pray?" can help you understand some of the spiritual dynamic of your relationship. The answer may be theological, in the sense that your partner sees God as a personal, relational being who can be known. Or they may see god as one of many, and distant and separate from our experience.
Your partner may answer that they imagine God as a "daddy", loving and there to meet their every need. Or you may hear that the picture they get is one of traffic cop just waiting to see if they mess up and then ready to serve them a ticket and dish out punishment.
Your ideas and the ideas of your spouse are important to know in the spiritual realm. Find out and pursue learning more about God as a couple.
