If we drift, we drift apart. If we grow, we grow together. Could it be that often the difference is determined by knowing our priorities and keeping them in focus? A priority is something we believe to be important. When we list priorities, we are listing those things we believe to be of great value in life.
Most Christians would agree that priority number one is our relationship and fellowship with God. Nothing is more important. In fact, our relationship with God influences the rest of our priorities. If God is the author of life, then nothing is more important than knowing Him. If God has spoken, then nothing is more important than hearing His voice. If God loves, nothing can bring greater joy than responding to His love. Jesus said, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness." Can we honestly say, that seeking the Kingdom of God is our first priority?

If so, it will have a profound impact on the way we approach our marriage. To follow what God says about our role in marriage will be our burning desire.

Growing....but it does have a drifting phase....they all do.
Just like our relationships with Jesus.....We abide and then we don't.....we drift in and out of that relationship.....
If we are growing in Jesus then we grow with all our relationships.....if we drift we drift away from all our relationships.....it parallel.
Like these two lines:

All married couples are drifting and growing apart. Some just take longer than others. The worst thing you can do to a relationship is get married. Good luck!!!

beautifully written!! if God put u together, it can't help but grow. of course you will have rough days, but thats normal. just keep God in the plan. if God didn't put you together, it's gonna be a hot mess, like mine was. let me say that paul m couldn't be more wrong!! when ur led by God u have strong spiritual values and morals. so it's hard to do wrong b/c the holy spirit will get ur attn. and u will have a guilty conscious. this is a good thing. the bible clearly states, husbands love ur wives, wives submit to ur husbands, dont deny each other, etc. if God didn't say it, the man who did say it was still led by God. don't worry about the negative comments bro. i got ya back. God bless. keep pressin on!!!

I'm not a religious person, so I won't answer your second question. But I have to honestly say that my marriage is more drifting right now than anything. My son came home for Thanksgiving and my husband called him a freak because of the color he has his hair. This caused my son to cuss him out and he left back home in tears. My son is gay and my husband has a real hard time accepting this. So for this reason, he picks on him about everything and it's caused a lot of problems with us. When my son left, he told me that he didn't want to come home for Christmas due to his dad, so I've been very distant with my husband. I try to tell my husband to accept his son for who he is, but he just can't. I even told him to go to those support meetings for parents of gays and lesbians, but he won't go. It's sad.

I whole-heartedly agree. Married or single, we must continue to grow to experience success in life. Growth means forming closer relationships with God, family, children, spouses, etc. The closer relationships mean an increase in love. Deeper loves draw us closer to God's word and righteousness. I'm not married, but I'm personally growing closer to God which I believe will help me grow closer to having a married life.

My marriage is growing, and has been for 31 years. God had nothing to do with it, as we are both Atheists.

God actually says NOTHING about out role in marriage.
You need to get your facts straight before delivering what isn't so much a question as an opportunity for you to purvey your beliefs in what is nothing more than a statement that is pertaining to be a (loaded) question.

Is this a question or a religious lecture?
Your preaching doesn't make any sense.
