A quiet distance can still be a real distance
Most marriages don’t wake up disconnected.
They drift there.
No betrayal.No dramatic argument.No single moment when everything changed.
Sometimes you pray together less often. Conversations turn into schedules and reminders. An old hurt stays unresolved. Work, children, and money start taking up more room.
You still love each other. Yet little by little, you can begin living beside each other without feeling truly close.
So ask the harder question: “What are we doing with the love we still have?”
That answer can show you where to begin.
The three foundations of a connected marriage
A marriage that can carry you through the next season needs a strong foundation.
Love for your spouse
Do you still say and show your love? Or have you both started assuming the other person already knows?
Love for the Word
Does Scripture shape your marriage? Or has the noise around you started doing most of the teaching?

Before you try to fix your marriage
Find out where
the distance is.
The Marriage Checkup takes an honest look at the three foundations of your marriage: your love for God, your love for each other, and your love for the Word. It’s not a test you can fail, and it’s not about deciding who’s at fault. It shows you where your attention is needed first.
- Answer 21 thoughtful questions across three foundations
- See which of the three foundations may need attention first, without blame, shame, or diagnosis
- Get a focused 7-Day Reconnect Plan with daily steps designed to take under 20 minutes
- Retake the same checkup after 90 days to measure direction
One faithful place to begin.
The Checkup reveals. The book helps you rebuild.
The Marriage Checkup helps couples recognize where disconnection may be growing. The Seven Powerful Ps in Holy Matrimony show them what to do next.
Your results are not a label or a diagnosis. They give you a starting point by showing which of the three foundations may need attention first.
A faith-centered path forward
Inside Holy Matrimony, Summer Harvest introduces the Seven Powerful Ps, a faith-centered framework that helps couples move from recognition to intentional reconnection.
Each principle helps couples understand what may be weakening their connection and begin rebuilding with greater clarity, biblical grounding, and purpose.
The full framework is reserved for the book. The Checkup helps you recognize where to look. Holy Matrimony walks you through what comes next.

How to Stay Connected When the World Is Pulling You Apart
By Summer Harvest
Pre-orders open Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The purchase link is not connected in this preview.
“Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 11:11 (KJV)
On Wednesday, November 11, at 11:11 a.m. your time, we’re asking couples to stop for one minute and pray for their marriage. Pray together if you can. Pray for your spouse by name if you can’t. Wherever you are, you’ll be praying alongside other couples who still believe in their marriage.
A book for the marriage you still believe in
Who this book is
for
- Couples who still love each other but know something has changed.
- Spouses carrying wounds that started long before the marriage.
- Husbands and wives who want to reconnect, even when one person does not know where to begin.
- Marriages that now feel more practical than intimate.
- Christians whose spiritual lives have slowly grown apart.
- Couples entering a new season and realizing the marriage needs something different now.
If you believe your marriage can grow stronger,
Holy Matrimony will help you take the next faithful step.
A grounded guide, not a promise of a perfect marriage

Questions couples ask
Before you begin
Is the Introduction really free?
Yes. The Introduction is our gift to you. Open the PDF and read it. There is no form to fill out, no email to give, and no obligation.
Why does the Marriage Checkup ask for my email?
The Checkup comes with a short series of letters from Summer Harvest that walk with you through the 7-Day Reconnect, so we send it to your inbox. Enter your first name and email and it arrives right away. Unsubscribe anytime.
Should my spouse and I take it together?
Take it alone first, so you can answer honestly and use it as a mirror instead of a test of your spouse. You can invite your spouse into the 7-Day Reconnect on Day 1, or begin with your own part and let your spouse notice the difference.
Will anyone see my answers?
No. The Checkup is yours to fill out privately. You score it yourself, and your answers stay with you.
When can I get the book?
Holy Matrimony opens for pre-order on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Request the Marriage Checkup and we’ll email you the pre-order link as soon as it is ready.
When should we seek professional help?
A book and a checkup are a good starting point for many couples, but they are not counseling. If you feel stuck, if old wounds keep reopening, or if either of you is struggling with depression, addiction, or anything that feels unsafe, reach out to a licensed Christian counselor or your pastor.
Safety comes first
Safety comes before a joint exercise
If your relationship involves abuse, coercion, stalking, threats, or immediate danger, a self-guided checkup or joint counseling may not be appropriate. Use confidential individual support and local emergency resources.
