Your marriage is either by default or by design. When you intentionally focus on the best even when the worst has been displayed, you allow God to work all things together for your good.

When you intentionally focus on the best in your spouse, even when the worst has been displayed, you partner with God to work all things together for your good. A marriage that is by default simply drifts—unintentional and unexamined. It’s a relationship where habits, routines, and unaddressed issues dictate the course of life together. A marriage by design, however, is intentional and purpose-driven. It’s shaped by the choices and the actions both partners take to nurture and grow it.
