We present a novel approach of coupling two multidimensional and non-degenerate It\^o processes $(X_t)$ and $(Y_t)$ which follow dynamics with different drifts. Our coupling is sticky in the sense that there is a stochastic process $(r_t)$, which solves a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation with a sticky boundary behavior at zero, such that almost surely $|X_t-Y_t|\leq r_t$ for all $t\geq 0$. The coupling is constructed as a weak limit of Markovian couplings. We provide explicit, non-asymptotic and long-time stable bounds for the probability of the event $\{X_t=Y_t\}$. |
