Emergency Relationship Triage

A guided faith-based conversation for couples who need clarity, calm, and a wise next step before the damage gets deeper.

Created by Abide & Align for couples navigating crisis, conflict, distance, broken trust, or separation conversations.

ERT is not about fixing everything in one conversation.

It is a guided first step designed to help you slow down, identify the real pattern, and decide what kind of support is wise from here.

In an ERT Session, we focus on:

  • What is happening right now

  • What keeps repeating

  • What needs to be addressed first

  • Whether both people are willing to participate

  • What the next faithful step should be

ERT may be for you if:

  • You keep having the same painful conversation

  • Trust has been damaged

  • Separation has been mentioned

  • One or both of you feel emotionally exhausted

  • You need spiritual clarity before making a major decision

  • You are not sure what kind of help you need, but you know something has to change

ERT is not the right step if:

  • You are in immediate danger

  • There is active violence, coercion, or intimidation

  • One person is using the session to control, threaten, or pressure the other

  • You need emergency intervention, legal support, or clinical crisis care

    If safety is uncertain, seek immediate local support before booking a relationship session.

Here is how the next step works:

  • Request an ERT session.

  • Complete the relationship check-in if you have not already.

  • We review your situation.

  • If ERT is the right fit, we confirm the next available session.

  • If another kind of support is wiser, we point you toward that next step.
