“Yellow” means you are either unsure or have a small concern about your spouse in this category. This is not a disqualifying concern, but it may not be a strength you have observed. Include a description of your concern or observations you have made about your spouse.

“Red” means you have a major concern or a red flag. A “Red” may not be a disqualification for your spouse, but it does represent an important or significant concern you have that needs to be observed or addressed by leadership. A “Red” means this is an area of past or present moral failure, a significant area of immaturity, or an area of significant weakness. Describe your concerns and observations that prompt you to mark this category a “Red.”
