Invite couples to identify, in couples, some practices that affirm justice, equity, and compassion in their relationship. These can be current practices or practices desired for the future.

After five or ten minutes of discussion, invite the large group to re-gather. Ask:

• What helps us affirm justice, equity, and compassion in our relationships and our families?
• What can make it hard to affirm justice, equity, and compassion in our relationships and our families?
• What helps or reminders do you give yourself to act compassionately when you get tired, frustrated, angry, or are otherwise "at the end of your rope"?
