When Good Marriages Drift: The Problem We’re Solving

You don’t need a crisis to lose connection.

You just need time, routine, and a little complacency.

In our marriage, we’ve seen how easy it is to drift — not because of something bad, but because we stopped being intentional.

We poured energy into our kids.
We focused on careers, church, and community.
But somewhere along the way, we stopped investing in us.

We see this pattern all the time:
Strong marriages slowly weaken. Not because of lack of love — but because of lack of attention.

“Write the vision and make it plain…” — Habakkuk 2:2

That verse isn’t just for business or ministry. It’s for marriage.
When couples lose shared goals, clear vision, and connection… they drift.

3 Common Causes of Drift

1. Complacency – “We’re okay.” But okay isn’t thriving.

2. Avoided Conflict – Unspoken issues quietly wedge you apart.

3. Loss of Shared Vision – You stop dreaming together.

One powerful story we shared in the episode came from a moment when a visitor walked into our home and said, “Something’s not right here.”

She was right.

We were in conflict. Disconnected. Going through the motions. That moment changed us.

Here’s How You Can Catch the Drift

✅ Name the problem. Say it out loud.
✅ Revisit your vision. What does a peaceful, God-honoring marriage look like to you?
✅ Make one small adjustment. A conversation. A prayer. A walk.
✅ Stay in community. Don’t go it alone — that’s why we created Marriage Investors.

Marriage doesn’t thrive by chance — it thrives by choice.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters — together.

Join us in making the investment.
Your future marriage will thank you.

Until next time… stay connected and love one another.
