FOR HUSBANDS AND WIVES

Keep growing together, one month at a time.

Marriage Every Day® gives husbands and wives one Alignment Focus each month, with short learning, honest conversation, and time with other couples. Join on your own or together. Here is what an ordinary month looks like.

Join Marriage Every Day See the Year

Created by The Marriage Group®, with nearly 20 years of experience in marriage formation.

Marriage Every Day carries that experience forward for engaged and married Christian couples.

Joining on your own?

You can take part fully, even if your spouse isn't ready.

A husband or wife can join without their spouse. Your membership is worthwhile on its own, and inviting your spouse is always optional.

Direct membership is $9/month or $99/year per person. Checkout currently takes place on The Marriage Group's site, where current terms are shown.

On your own

Start with the Alignment Focus. Each month gives you one clear place to begin.
Go at your own pace. Read and reflect on formation content when it suits you.
Stay in conversation. Join conversations with other husbands and wives.
Show up when it's offered. Take part in fellowship and activities when they are offered.

If both of you take part

Share the same focus. Talk through each month's Alignment Focus at home.
Make it a date night. Use conversation prompts together.
Go together. Attend a gathering when one is confirmed near you.

Each spouse who joins directly has their own membership and login.

How a month unfolds

Learn it, talk it through, live it out.

Each Alignment Focus comes with a way to understand it, a way to talk about it with your spouse and other couples, and a way to put it into practice at home. How the flywheel works

Education

Understand it

Reflection on the month's subject and what it asks of the two of you.

Accompaniment

Talk it through

Conversation and reflection with your spouse and other members.

In real life

Live it out

Dinner with another couple, a parish gathering, or a quiet evening with the two of you.

A Year of Growing Together

One marriage. One Alignment Focus each month.

Each month brings one Alignment Focus to pay attention to together. Education helps you understand it, accompaniment helps you talk it through with other members, and opportunities to gather give you somewhere to live it out when they are available.

You do not need to address everything at once. Each Alignment Focus gives the two of you a clear place to begin and a practical way to keep becoming the husband and wife you're called to be.

Alignment does not mean agreeing about everything. It means understanding each other, recognizing where you may have drifted apart, and choosing how you want to move forward together.

What participating looks like

A rhythm you can keep in a normal week.

Explore the Year

What will this help us do?
Talk about subjects that are easy to postpone, understand each other more fully, make shared decisions with greater unity, reconnect after conflict, and grow in faith together.
What happens during a typical month?
Each month centers on one Alignment Focus. You use the conversation and reflection available to members to talk it through together and choose a next step. When a gathering is confirmed, you will hear about it and can decide whether to join in.
Can we join in the middle of the year?
Yes. There is no perfect month to begin and no requirement to complete everything. Start with the Alignment Focus in front of you and participate in the ways that serve your marriage and your current season of life.
Is this for healthy marriages too?
Yes. Most of what we do is for couples who are doing well and want to keep growing. Steady attention to your marriage matters long before anything feels wrong.
The Alignment Focuses repeat each year. Does that get stale?
They return because your marriage keeps growing and changing. A conversation about communication, family, finances, or commitment can reveal something new as your life together develops.

Wherever you are

Choose experiences that fit your stage of life.

Take small steps together. Keep growing through the season you are actually in.
