What kind of religious upbringing did you have, if any?
Describe your current personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
How certain are you that you are going to heaven when you die?
Describe your spiritual life over the past 10 years. What were the high points? What were the low points? What caused growth or prevented growth?
Are you involved in a local church? How has your involvement in a local church helped you grow in your relationship with Christ and your outreach to others?
If you had one passage from God’s Word that you would like your fiancé to incorporate into his/her life, what would it be? If you need some time to think about it, we can get back to it next time.
I realize this is a small section. Don't worry: we talk more about God later. I've found that most couples aren't going to know how to answer these questions. In our first meeting together, before we even start counseling, I find out whether they are Christians as well. Only so a believer isn't yoked with a non-believer. It's always a challenge to talk about Christ and the importance of a marriage built on Him, especially with guys. Most of them turn me off at this point.
While I don't believe Christianity to be solely a ticket to heaven, the question about heaven and its answer provides great insight on a person's idea of God/Christ/salvation.
