When couples prepare for marriage, they focus on big topics: communication, conflict, money, faith, and family of origin. These all matter. But one area is often overlooked, though it quietly holds marriages together. Friendship.
Couples rarely fall apart over one major issue. More often, they drift as daily moments of connection disappear. The relationship shifts to logistics, responsibilities, tired evenings, and stress. You still care, but the spark gets buried under life’s weight.
Friendship is the foundation.
