“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” —1 Corinthians 13: 6-7 (NIV)

5. “I guess my wife and I have just slowly drifted apart over the years, and now
I don't know what to do about it. Sometimes we won't even say a dozen words to
each other over dinner. Maybe you can give me some suggestions. Or is it too
late?”

*Read Billy Graham's response:

No, it's not too late to reverse what has happened—if you both are willing to
change. I hope you are, because God gave you to each other and He doesn't want
your relationship to come to an end.

This is why the first step I urge you both to take is to turn to God and commit
your lives and your marriage to Christ. Your love for each other may have
cooled—but God's love for you has not, and He wants to help you rekindle your
love for each other. He loves you so much that He was willing to send His only
Son into the world to sacrifice His life for your salvation. Why not ask Him to
come into your lives today?

Then, pause to thank God for the good things He gave you together in the
past—for the love you once had, and the joys you once shared. Focus on these,
and not only on things that have gone wrong. Then ask God to help you think of
ways you can recover those good things.

In addition, learn to communicate with each other. You may feel you no longer
have much in common—but you do, and you need to learn to talk about these
things. In addition, try to be considerate and thoughtful, instead of taking
each other for granted. The Bible says, "Make sure that nobody pays back wrong
for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other" (1 Thessalonians 5:15).
