Why are many Christians finally leaving the Church?

1. Do you feel emotionally connected to Jesus frequently?

2. Do you have in-depth conversations with Jesus on a regular basis?

3. Do you know where Jesus is now and can you visit each other?

Christian scriptures showing believers are married to Christ use marriage as a metaphor for the deep, covenant relationship between Christ (the Bridegroom) and His Church (the Bride), especially in Ephesians 5:22-33, where husbands loving wives mirrors Christ’s sacrificial love for the Church, and in 2 Corinthians 11:2, where Paul presents believers as pure virgins betrothed to one husband, Christ, alongside Old Testament fore-shadowing like Isaiah 54:5 (Maker is your husband) and Hosea 2:19 (betrothed in steadfast love)

If any of the answers to the three questions above is “NO”, then your relationship is a dead one.

You are in a relationship that got no soul!

– Why –

What is an inactive or dead marriage?

An inactive or dead marriage is one where the emotional connection, intimacy, and effort have completely vanished, leaving partners feeling like roommates, disconnected, resentful, and often living separate lives despite being physically together, characterized by severe communication breakdown, lack of respect, avoidance, and a shared sense that the relationship is over, even if not legally dissolved.

Key Characteristics of a Dead Marriage:

No Emotional Connection:

Partners feel lonely even when together, with no desire to share deep feelings or vulnerabilities.

Lack of Intimacy:

Both physical and emotional intimacy have ceased; the relationship feels loveless or sexless.

Communication Breakdown:

Conversations are minimal, superficial, or purely conflict-driven, with no real listening or resolution.

Constant Negativity & Criticism:

The relationship is dominated by contempt, criticism, or unresolved conflict, rather than positive interactions.

Separate Lives:

Couples spend little to no quality time together, preferring to be with friends, work, or hobbies instead.

No Effort:

Neither partner is willing to work on underlying issues, compromise, or make the other happy.

Lack of Respect:

Flaws are magnified, leading to belittling or a general loss of respect for the partner.

Emotional Detachment:

One or both partners have emotionally “unplugged,” feeling indifferent or even fantasizing about life apart.

The Final Stage:

This state often precedes or exists alongside the formal end (divorce), but sometimes couples stay together out of convenience (kids, finances), creating a “roommate” dynamic filled with resentment, which is often considered the saddest outcome.

How It Differs from Unhappy or Troubled Marriages:

While unhappy marriages show signs of distress, a dead marriage signifies a point where the will to repair is gone, and partners have largely moved on emotionally, even if the legalities haven’t caught up.

Final questions:

Does many of us feel more emotionally connected with social media (AI), than we do with Jesus.

Does many of us feel more emotionally connected with Politics, and Capitalism, than we do with Jesus.

Do you feel AI know you more than Jesus?
