Do not share your marital problems with the world. Not everyone around you is trying to build your marriage. Not everyone that smiles at you is happy for you. Family and close friends are usually too close to you to give impartial advice – they will often sympathize with your unbalanced side of the story and tell you what you want to hear, and not what you need to hear.
First, try to work out a solution with your spouse through open and honest communication. Tell your spouse how what they did made you feel first before you tell anyone. It is wrong to rush too quickly to tell your friend and family about problems that you have not even discussed with your spouse. If you discuss with your spouse and fail to resolve your disputes, then seek godly counsel from a neutral trusted Christian counselor, pastor, or senior Christian couple who believe in marriage, and will not encourage you to divorce.
