A method of storing information in a cross-point magnetic memory array and a cross-point magnetic memory device structure. The voltage drop across magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ's) during a write operation is minimized to prevent damage to the MTJ's of the array. The voltage drop across the selected MTJ's, the unselected MTJ's, or both, is minimized during a write operation, reducing stress across the MTJ's, decreasing leakage currents, decreasing power consumption and increasing the write margin.
