Secrets to Lasting Love

What makes some marriages thrive while others drift apart? More often than not, it comes down to one thing: a shared vision.

My parents were married nearly 60 years. They didn’t always agree on everything—in fact, they were vastly different people—but they always knew what they were building together. Faith, family, service, and a home filled with music and love guided their decisions, even when life got messy.

When couples have clarity about what matters most, the little conflicts feel smaller, and the big challenges become easier to navigate—because you’re moving in the same direction.

Action Tip:

Spend 15 minutes this week talking with your spouse about your shared vision.

Ask, “What do we want our marriage and family to look like five, ten, or twenty years from now?”

Then write down three values or dreams you want to pursue together.
