Drift in Marriage

“Most marriages develop their characteristic pattern, not by design, but by drift. Courses of least

resistance, following one’s own desires in time develop into patterns, but you will never drift into God’s

pattern. It will come only by repentance, by prayerful understanding and by a conscious decision to follow it.

That decision must be backed by a continued daily awareness of what you are doing and a repetitive effort

to realize God’s design in all you do. You must choose between drift and decision. Decide now to reshape

your marriage according to God’s great plan set forth in the pattern of Christ and His church. If you do, your

marriage will be blessed more and more as it grows, not drifts in the shape designed by God.” – Jay Adams
