The Elusive Key to a Great Marriage

I want to take a moment to welcome you and celebrate you. Whether you’re showing up for your marriage in big ways or small—by offering a kind word, choosing patience, or simply thinking about how to love better—it all matters. Every effort to strengthen your relationship sends out ripples, touching your children, families, communities, and even the world.

But sometimes, society tells us a different story. We hear messages like “If you’ve grown apart, just move on,” or “Love shouldn’t be this hard.” The reality? Marriage isn’t disposable. It’s foundational. When a marriage crumbles, it doesn’t just affect two people—it affects generations, friendships, and entire support networks.

And yet, everyone is searching for the secret sauce—the key to lasting love. Over the years, through my own experience and working with others, I’ve come to believe that the real key isn’t found in date nights or communication hacks (though those help!). The deepest, most transformative ingredient is spirituality—a connection to something greater than ourselves.

Studies show:

• 50% of marriages end in divorce.

• 26% of marriages end in divorce when couples attend church together.

• Only 0.006% of marriages end in divorce when couples pray together.

Let that sink in. There is power in inviting the divine into your marriage.

Your job, your home, your bank account—none of it will hold you at night or walk with you in old age. Your marriage will.

So if all you have in you today is a simple prayer, start there. If you’re feeling disconnected, turn your focus back to what truly matters. Let’s not chase after the illusion of greener grass, but instead, water what we have.

This week, I invite you to:

❤️ Pray together—even if it’s just a few words.

❤️ Align your priorities—is your marriage getting your best or just what’s left over?

❤️ Stay in the fight—because your family is worth it.

Let’s create a ripple effect of inspiring, lasting love. If this message resonates, share it with a friend. And don’t forget—Free Coaching Monday is here if you need support. Keep going with your 28-Day Love Challenge, and remember, you are never alone in this journey.
