CRITICAL

Your marriage needs prayerful attention now. Your responses indicate significant challenges that require dedicated effort, outside support, and God's healing intervention.

What This Means:

Your marriage is experiencing distress in multiple areas. Trust may have been damaged, communication patterns may be harmful, and intimacy in all its forms—spiritual, emotional, and physical—has likely suffered. Financial disagreements or lack of transparency may be creating additional strain. Remember that God sees your struggles and offers hope for restoration.

Moving Forward with God's Guidance:

With God, renewal is always possible:

• Begin with heartfelt prayer, individually and together when possible

• Seek professional Christian counseling immediately—this is a sign of strength, not weakness

• Focus on rebuilding trust through small, consistent acts of faithfulness

• Commit to a regular time of studying Scripture together, even if it feels uncomfortable at first

• Consider attending a marriage intensive program specifically designed for couples in crisis

• Surround yourselves with supportive Christian friends who will encourage your marriage without taking sides

• Remember that many couples have found their way from crisis to renewed love with God's help

"He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake." (Psalm 23:3)

A Word of Encouragement

No matter which result you received, remember that marriage is a journey, not a destination. God designed marriage as a reflection of Christ's relationship with the church—filled with grace, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Wherever you find yourselves today, God's desire is for your marriage to grow in love, joy, and mutual submission.
