I Is for Intentional: Why Most Marriages Drift (And How to Stop It) (EPIC Marriage Part 3)

About this Podcast:

If your marriage has started running on autopilot - driven by schedules, stress, and leftover energy, this episode is for you.

Drift rarely feels dramatic. It often looks like a normal, busy life.  But without vision and intention, even good marriages can slowly lose connection.  

In Part 3 of the EPIC Marriage series, "I is for Intentional," Nick and Alex Leyva explore what it means to stop sliding through marriage and start deciding with purpose. Drawing on Proverbs 29:18, the principle of sliding versus deciding from family science research, and the Parable of the Wedge shared in general conference, they unpack how small daily choices shape the strength of a covenant relationship.

In this episode, you'll discover:
The difference between liberty and captivity within marriage
Why busyness can quietly weaken connection
How small “wedges” of distraction, resentment, or avoidance grow over time
A simple three-part framework to rebuild intentional unity

You'll walk away with a practical challenge: define your 90-day vision, identify one wedge in your marriage, and commit to one measurable, intentional action each day for seven days.

If you've felt the subtle weight of drift, this conversation will help you reclaim your agency and move forward with clarity.
