Drift or Design: How Are You Building Your Marriage

Dear Marriage Investors,

Another week brings with it a chance to pause and reflect. Have you ever looked at your marriage and thought, "How did we get here?" Not in a moment of crisis, but in one of quiet realization. Sometimes we drift into seasons of disconnection, distance, or routine without ever meaning to.

Drift is easy. It happens when we’re busy, when we’re distracted. When we assume love will maintain itself.

But connection? Intimacy? Joy? Those don’t happen by accident. They’re built—brick by brick—by design.

God never meant for marriage to be a drifting experience. In Genesis 2:24, we read: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." That’s not passive language. That’s action. That’s intention.

Every day, you’re either drifting or designing.

We design when we choose our words carefully. We design when we prioritize our spouse above our schedule. We design when we invite God into the quiet moments and the hard conversations.

📘 Our book, Forever Together: Unveiling the Keys to Lasting Marriage Connection, is an invitation to return to intentionality. To pick up the tools and start building again. It’s filled with honest reflections, biblical truth, and encouragement to help you realign with each other and with God.

➡️ The book is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. If you haven’t picked up your copy yet, we encourage you to do so and use it as a guide to help shape the kind of marriage you were made for.

Every couple gets off course sometimes. But God gives us grace, wisdom, and strength to course-correct. To realign. To rebuild.

Don’t settle for a marriage shaped by drift. Choose one shaped by design—by love, by faith, by daily investment.

Together in the journey,
Marcellus & Valerie
