It seems apparent that we need some teaching and some modeling around the area of marriage. Although 64% of those who responded said they would grade their marriage an A or B, 36% graded there marriage a C or less with 16% grading their marriage an F.
With anonymity could we share what makes our marriages an A or B and what makes our marriages a C or less and even an F?
How can the church help? Or can they?

When Quoting Scripture Inflicts Harm

I graded my marriage a B. It use to be an F. But through the last 15 years I believe God has blessed us in our faithfulness and we have improved our “score.” Now you are getting only one side of the story in my case. My spouse could think our marriage grade is slightly different. To elaborate on why our marriage was an F at one time – well we had stopped attending church, God was “there” but we had backslid. When we came into the marriage we had a lot of baggage and dysfunctional rearing by the adults in our family didn’t help much. Counseling did not help because it seemed one sided.
I believe through small groups and special church activities, to include conferences and seminars, are vital for all marriages. All couples of all ages should take a hard look at their marriage. We all have to adjust when we are first married. But as we get into later years we can get into ruts. Intimacy can become routine. Working long hours can take its toll on time alone. The church can help in providing good support and counseling when needed. All marriages to be successful must have God at the center.
