Are we still moving in the same direction?, by Jacob Iroko
by The Eagle Online · The Eagle Online“What’s wrong with us?” Have you ever asked yourself or your partner this question in your relationship?
Marriage doesn’t usually break because of one big moment. It drifts quietly. Careers grow, children demand more, responsibilities multiply.
Before you realise it, you’re still in the same house, still committed, still praying, but no longer walking with the same rhythm or focus.
Scripture asks a simple but sobering question: “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” (Amos 3:3). Agreement isn’t just about love. It’s about direction.
God didn’t design marriage to be two individuals sharing space. He designed it to be a covenant with a shared mission. When vision becomes unclear, priorities compete, and purpose fades. Intimacy weakens not because love is gone, but because alignment is missing.
Sometimes the most powerful question a couple can ask is: “Lord, where are You leading us now?”

When God is at the centre, alignment becomes possible again, vision is restored, priorities reorder themselves, and purpose gives the marriage fresh strength.
If you’ve sensed a quiet drift, don’t panic. Pause. Pray. Realign.
Marriage isn’t about never drifting, it’s about always returning. Returning to God. Returning to each other. And choosing, again, to move forward in the same direction.
