Woven

I heard something recently that stopped me in my tracks:
“One of the greatest dangers in marriage is drifting into casual Christianity. You’re not rejecting God, but you’re not really pursuing Him together either.”

Whew. That hit deep.

It’s so subtle, isn’t it? That slow drift. One of you still goes to church. The other is always “just tired.” One of you is on fire for Jesus. The other seems… fine, but distant. You’re not arguing. You’re not walking away from your faith. But somewhere along the way, you stopped walking it out together.

Maybe it started when life got too busy. Maybe it happened during a hard season. Maybe you just got used to loving Jesus separately, and before long, that spiritual connection—the one that once brought you so close—began to fade.

But friend, here’s the good news: the drift doesn’t have to be the end of the story.

Psalm 34:3 (NLT) says, “Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.”

Together.

What a beautiful picture of what marriage can look like when it’s grounded in faith. Not just coexisting spiritually. Not just loving God in parallel lanes. But actually exalting His name together. Praying together. Worshiping together. Serving together. Seeking Him as a team, not just as individuals under one roof.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “That’s us…we’ve drifted,” I want to gently remind you: recognizing it is not failure. It’s faithfulness. It means you’re listening. It means the Spirit is stirring something within you.

So what do we do when we find ourselves here?

Here’s a place to start:

• Pray for your marriage. God hears your prayers.
• Start small. Read one verse together in the morning. Pray before dinner. Put worship music on while driving.
• Talk about it. Share how you’re feeling—not to guilt or pressure, but to invite.
• Invite Jesus back to the center. Not just as your Savior, but as the anchor of your relationship.

Marriage isn’t always mountain-top moments. But it can be a place where the Spirit dwells, where grace abounds, and where faith is rekindled—together.

You are not alone in this, and it’s never too late to realign and reclaim your marriage in pursuit of Jesus. Let your hearts be stirred again. And may the words of Psalm 34:3 be more than a verse—may they become a prayer over your home:

“Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.”
