The 30 Day Challenge
£28 per couple • 30 days • Around 10 minutes on most days
A simple daily rhythm of investing in your marriage. Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts, and like every valuable relationship, it benefits from intentional attention.
The 30-Day Marriage Alive! Challenge helps Christian couples build a simple daily rhythm of investing in their marriage through enjoyable, bite-sized experiences that fit naturally into everyday life.
Over 30 days, both partners receive a daily email filled with practical ideas, biblical encouragement, and meaningful opportunities to engage together. The emails simply guide the journey. The real focus is the moments you create together.
Whether your marriage is flourishing, life has become particularly busy, or you’d simply like some fresh ideas for investing in your relationship, this challenge helps make intentional connection part of everyday life.
Is it for us?
This challenge is for Christian couples who want to invest intentionally in their marriage.
Whether you’re:
- newly married
- balancing work and family life
- feeling a little disconnected and wanting to reconnect intentionally
- looking for fresh ideas to strengthen your relationship
- or simply wanting to continue investing in what God has entrusted to you
- this challenge is designed to encourage, strengthen and inspire.
You don’t need hours of free time or the perfect schedule. Just a willingness to spend around ten intentional minutes together on most days.
Why 30 days?
Healthy marriages are rarely shaped by one extraordinary moment.
More often, they’re strengthened through many small moments of intentional connection.
That’s why the Marriage Alive! Challenge lasts for 30 days.
Rather than asking you to make dramatic changes, it helps you establish a simple rhythm of investing in your marriage, one day at a time. Our hope is that many of these small habits will continue long after the challenge has finished.
What you’ll experience
Every week includes:
- Five Connection Boosts with practical ideas to help you engage with one another.
- One Tool Spotlight introducing a practical relationship skill you can continue using.
- One fun Date Suggestion to help you make intentional time for one another.
- Throughout the challenge you’ll also enjoy:
- a daily verse from Scripture
- a short relationship insight
- simple conversation starters and practical ideas
- opportunities to grow together in your faith and relationship
Most days take around 10 minutes, with a little longer for the Tool Spotlight and Date Suggestion.
What couples have shared:
“It helped us deepen our conversations.”
“The 30-Day Challenge really helped us deepen our conversations and connect emotionally. Scheduling just 10 minutes a day to have those intentional, purposeful conversations to help build our connection was incredibly meaningful.
My husband especially enjoyed the Tool Spotlight days. Spending a little longer reflecting and writing our answers helped us think more deeply, and we got so much out of those exercises.
We loved the Date Nights and tried things we would never have thought of ourselves. Before one of them, my husband said, ‘I’m not sure how this is going to help.’ Afterwards he said, ‘I really enjoyed that, much more than I expected. I can see how it brought us closer through the songs and the memories they brought back.’
We would recommend the 30-Day Challenge to any couple who wants to deepen their connection and continue growing together.”

“Ten minutes a day made a difference.”
“The challenge motivated my husband and me to give each other at least a few minutes a day of undivided attention. We found ourselves thinking about each other more during the day, even while we were apart.
There were questions we’d never asked each other before, and we both felt we got to know ourselves and each other better.
We had opportunities to appreciate each other’s strengths, and we also had some difficult conversations. The framework of the challenge made those conversations feel much less scary and helped us be more open with one another.”

Running the challenge as a church
The Marriage Alive! The challenge can be enjoyed by individual couples or as part of a shared church journey.
While each couple completes the challenge privately in their own home, there’s something special about knowing other couples in your church are making the same investment in their marriages at the same time.
To help churches make the most of the experience, we provide a free Church Toolkit with optional practical resources for introducing the challenge, encouraging couples throughout the month, and hosting a simple and relaxed celebration evening at the end.
