Two CSS Grids not Aligning Within the Same Parent Container

Question

I have two separate CSS grids within the same parent container.

The first of the 2 grids has the column property grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr;

The second of the 2 has grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;

Yet somehow the grids aren't quite lined up - the text in the top grid needs to start in the second column (as shown), but it's ever so slightly out of alignment with the grid below, which is being cause by the column sizing.

I could really do without putting them both within the same grid because of the site design.

Is there anyway to get them to align with CSS Grid syntax without placing them both within the same grid?

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.grid-section {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;

.row {
width: 80%; 
max-width: 1250px;
}

.grid-column {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-gap: 1rem;
}

/* adds space to main grid title*/
.grid-row.row-1 .grid-column {
  margin: 5rem 0;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr
}

.grid-image {
  height: 10rem;
  width: 100%;
  background: lightblue;
}

h4.grid-heading {
  margin: 1rem 0 0 0;
}

.grid-text {
    position: relative;
    padding: 0 1rem 0 0;
    margin: 0 0 1rem 0;

Answer 1

On the first grid, instead of this:

.grid-column {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr;
}

Consider this:

.grid-column {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr; /* or even grid-template-columns: 1fr */
    text-align: center;
}
