THE 90-DAY PROTOCOL
The first 24 hours
By Dexter Montgomery

Acknowledge what you have heard. You do not have to settle the future of the marriage today.

1. Pause before sending another emotional message.
2. Handle practical responsibilities that need attention today.
3. Eat, make time to rest, and speak to someone you trust.
4. Write down questions that can wait until you are calmer.
5. Get appropriate professional advice before consequential decisions.

Giving space should leave room for necessary communication and shared responsibilities. Reconciliation requires both people to choose it.

Educational guidance, not therapy or professional advice.
