THE STRIVERS

Your dedication is bearing fruit! Your responses indicate that you're actively working to build a God-centered marriage. While you face challenges, your commitment to growth and improvement is evident.

What This Means:

You recognize the importance of prioritizing your marriage and are making efforts to nurture your connection. You may struggle in some areas—perhaps communication during disagreements, balancing finances, or cultivating intimacy in all its forms—but you're addressing these challenges with determination and faith.

Moving Forward with God's Guidance:

Your willingness to strive creates a pathway for growth:

• Identify which aspects of intimacy (spiritual, emotional, physical) need the most attention and pray specifically about them

• Consider a Christian marriage enrichment program or retreat to strengthen weak areas

• Establish regular devotional time together to deepen your spiritual foundation

• Seek wisdom from mature Christian couples whose marriages you admire

• Remember that God's grace provides strength in your weakness

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
