At the start of 2025, Taylor and I decided to try one simple rhythm: a monthly Marriage Meeting.

We showed up at Starbucks with a calendar and no big expectations. We celebrated wins, talked honestly about challenges, looked ahead at our schedule, and planned intentional date nights. Nothing formal—just intentional time together talking about the things that often get lost in the daily grind of life and parenting three young kids.

Almost immediately, we noticed how much it strengthened our connection and helped us get on the same page.

A few months later, we shared this rhythm online. Friends started asking questions, so we turned what was working for us into a simple, practical guide. Since then, over 300 couples have downloaded it.

Our prayer is that it has the same life-giving impact on your marriage that it’s had on ours.

Creating space for one intentional conversation a month has helped us:

• Actually follow through on date nights instead of always “meaning to” plan them

• Stay aligned on our calendar and goals before life gets chaotic

• Grow in gratitude by intentionally celebrating wins—big and small

• Create a safe space to talk about hard things without rushing or reacting

• Feel more connected and on the same page as partners, parents, and teammates
