Most marriages don’t blow up with yelling; they drift apart in silence. It’s not the fights that break you, it’s the distance. The conversations you avoid. The nights you scroll instead of talk. The stuff you hold back. Silence convinces you everything’s fine when it’s not. And the longer you leave it, the harder it gets to close the gap.

Here’s the truth: strong marriages don’t just “happen.” Intentional couples don’t ignore the drift. They lean in. They start the awkward conversations. They ask the hard questions. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s what keeps a marriage from quietly falling apart.

In this episode of Amplified Marriage, we’re talking about what marriage drift actually looks like and how to fight it. We’re sharing:

• Our own story of drift (and how close we came to losing it all)
• How busyness and “normal life” can sneakily pull you apart
• Practical ways to close the gap (like the 10-minute pause and 15-minute couch time)
• Why conflict isn’t the enemy, but silence is
• How intentionality keeps couples connected for the long haul

This one’s real, it’s honest, and it’s for every couple that’s ever looked at each other and thought, “Is this all we’ve got left?” Spoiler: it’s not.
