One of the secrets to the strength of this giant tree is what goes on below the surface. Unlike many trees, they reach out and interlock their roots with the sequoias around them. Each becomes empowered and reinforced by the strength of others.
This is also a key to maintaining a strong, healthy relationship. Couples who interlock their lives in a network of other strong relationships radically increase their chances of surviving the fiercest of storms.
Find a relationship mentor - someone who is a strong Christian and who will be honest and loving with you. If you feel that counseling is needed, then take the first step to set up an appointment. During this process, ask God to direct your decisions and discernment.
Who did you choose? Why did you select this person? What do you hope to learn from them?
