Marriage Drift

is this one of the most common challenges marriages face?

In marriage, you’re either actively moving towards oneness or you’re drifting towards isolation. Drift is common to all marriages, but we know that great marriages don’t just happen. They take time, intention and a consistent effort to move towards oneness.

In this 3 part discussion we talk about how you can halt the drift in your relationship and start moving towards oneness again.
