How do I know if I should stay in my marriage?

You are sitting across the breakfast table from someone who feels like a stranger. Maybe nothing dramatic happened. No big fight, no obvious wound. Just years of small silences that piled up until the house feels more like a waiting room than a home. And now the question sits in your chest every morning: is there anything left here? That question is not weakness. It is honest. And into that exact moment, the Bible does not give you a formula. It gives you something harder and better.

"Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."

- 1 Corinthians 13:7 (KJV)

Before tonight, say one true thing to your spouse that is not a complaint or a request. It can be small. 'That meal was good.' 'I noticed you worked hard today.' One sentence. You are not fixing everything. You are choosing, just once, to lean toward instead of away.

God, I am tired and I am not sure what to do. I am not asking you to make this easy. I am asking you to give me enough light for today, and enough hope to stay open. Amen.
