For Couples
Keep growing together, one season at a time.
Marriage Every Day™ helps engaged and married Christian couples become the husband and wife they are called to be, through learning that fits real life, other couples walking alongside you, and gatherings you can actually get to.
Created by The Marriage Group®, with nearly 20 years of experience in marriage formation.
More than 20,000 members use Marriage Every Day™ to keep learning, praying, and growing together through the ordinary weeks of married life.
The pattern most couples know
Growth slips down the list without meaning to.
Work, money, family, and routines start shaping your marriage. The learning and support you had while preparing fades out, and no one hands you the next step. Small issues can quietly become lasting patterns.
Marriage Every Day™ gives you somewhere to keep learning and growing together. Short enough to fit an ordinary Tuesday. Consistent enough to matter over years.
MARRIAGE FORMATION FLYWHEEL
Your vows are lived in everyday life.
Marriage is a lifelong covenant lived through ordinary days and changing seasons. The Marriage Formation Flywheel brings practical education, IRL connection, and intentional accompaniment together to help you live your vows with greater intention and continue growing as husband and wife.
Each part strengthens the others. Couples can experience all three at the same time, and momentum builds as one experience leads naturally into another.
You can enter the flywheel anywhere. A course, conversation, gathering, or check-in can become your next step. Each experience can lead naturally to another, creating an ongoing rhythm that supports your marriage over time.
- Education
- Learn something useful for the marriage you are living now.
- Mini courses, workshops, videos, articles, and practical tools help you understand one another better and put what you learn into practice.
- Accompaniment
- Receive encouragement that helps you keep going.
- Regular check-ins, guided conversations, reflection questions, and trusted support help you notice where you are, talk about what matters, and determine your next meaningful step.
- IRL
- Make meaningful time for your marriage and connect with other couples in real life.
- Date Nights, gatherings, workshops, local experiences, and shared activities create opportunities to enjoy one another, build friendships, and grow within a genuine community.
Education
Keep learning how to love each other well.
What would be useful for us to learn, understand, or practice right now?
Communication, money, intimacy, faith at home, parenting, conflict, and the transitions nobody warns you about.
Education covers understanding, skills, and practice, not just content to consume. Mini Courses are one format inside it, along with workshops, live teaching, discussion guides, and reflection you can use at your own kitchen table.
- Mini Courses on the subjects couples keep working through
- Workshops, live teaching, and expert conversations
- Discussion guides and reflection you can use at home
- Scripture-rooted formation for married life
- Preparation and follow-up around local events
- Learning tied to the month's Alignment Focus
Accompaniment
Other couples walking the same road.
Who is walking with us, and what can we learn from one another?
Encouragement, honest conversation, and wisdom from couples who have already lived what you are living.
Mentor couples, small groups, clergy, marriage educators, prayer, and a guided monthly check-in that is not an assessment or a score. It is a reason to stop, pay attention to your marriage, and decide what would be useful next.
- Couple-to-couple encouragement and shared wisdom
- Experienced married couples and mentor relationships
- Small groups and facilitated conversations
- Clergy, ministry leaders, and trusted contributors
- Guided monthly check-ins and Alignment Focus conversations
- Prayer, member stories, and suggested next steps
IRL, in real life
Meet people. Make plans. Get together.
Where can we live this out with other people?
Find couples near you, see what is happening locally, and turn it into dinner on an actual Friday.
Near Me helps you see couples and opportunities around you, including what your parish or church is already hosting. Members create gatherings too, and so do dioceses, churches, and partner organizations.
- Dinner, coffee, and date nights with other couples
- Parish, church, and diocesan gatherings
- Retreats, workshops, and small groups
- Anniversary celebrations and newlywed gatherings
- Member-created gatherings and service projects
- Local opportunities surfaced through Near Me
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 and hear from couples further down the road, and real-life gatherings give you somewhere to live it out.
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 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?
- You receive one Alignment Focus. A short Mini Course helps you understand it. Conversation prompts and an intentional check-in help you talk it through and choose a next step. Activities and local gatherings give you a way to practice it alongside other couples.
- 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.
