Is your marriage in need of a little extra love and attention? Look no further! Our Ultimate Monthly Marriage Checklist is designed to help you and your partner learn, grow, and strengthen your relationship each month. By focusing on a different topic every month, this comprehensive guide will lead you through meaningful conversations and activities that will bring you closer together. Get ready to embark on a journey of transformation and discover the power of intentional, month-by-month growth with our Monthly Marriage Checklist.

Marriage is a journey that requires effort, dedication, and commitment from both partners. While there is no secret formula to a perfect marriage, regular communication, shared goals, and mutual support are key to building a happy and healthy relationship.
To help couples prioritize their relationship and maintain a strong connection, we have created a monthly marriage checklist. We cover a range of topics such as shared goals, quality time, savings, and more. By making time to regularly communicate with one another, couples can strengthen their relationship and build a foundation for a long and fulfilling life together.
“Couples who reported higher levels of communication in their relationship were more likely to stay together and report greater relationship satisfaction than those who did not communicate as effectively.”
According to a study by the Gottman Institute
