If your marriage is in trouble, please reach out to a qualified professional in your area. If you or someone you know is in an abusive marriage, please reach out to the national hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text "START" to 88788. Marriage is the Best but it can also be unsafe and if you or a loved one are unsafe reaching out for help can be the first step toward healing. God bless.
