Religion / a book about engagement and marriage | | English term or phrase: constructively seek God's way forward to help | Dealing with differences and coping with crises
[...]
Try to focus on what attracted you to your partner, it may be for example their sunny outgoing nature or relaxed take on life. It is important not to give way to fear within yourself, but to prayerfully and ***constructively seek God's way forward to help***.
I don't get the sense of the 'to help' at the end. How does it fit with the rest of the sentence? |

Note that "constructively" is related to "prayerfully" - i.e., in both practical and spiritual ways. |
