Why Marriages Drift Apart and How to Reconnect

Most marriages don’t fall apart overnight...they slowly drift.

In this episode, Brad talks with Dave and Ann Wilson about the subtle but dangerous lie that traps many “fine” marriages and how it nearly cost them their own. Dave shares the moment God broke through his busyness and ministry obsession, while Ann explains how learning to speak life (rather than criticism) reshaped their marriage from the inside out.

This conversation explores why marriage repair can’t stay "horizontal," how repentance changes everything, and what it really takes to shift the drift toward a thriving, grace-filled marriage.
