Advent is one of our favorite times of the year! Sure, it can be chaotic, but we’ve learned that if we make a plan, and focus on the reason for the season (preparing for the birth of Jesus AND for eternity), it can be really beautiful.
You’ve probably heard us say it before, but Advent and marriage have a special link—both point us toward heaven. So it’s the perfect time to make sure you’re keeping your marriage a priority! We wanted to share 2 ideas on how you can do exactly that during Advent this year.
Idea #1: Do one thing for your marriage each day of Advent
Get the 2025 version of our Advent calendar and guide that includes a challenge for each day of Advent. For details, see this post. This year the challenge is only available to paying subscribers on our Substack!

Idea #2: Have a weekly date night during Advent
A Journey Through Advent for Catholic Couples provides a weekly date night with suggested Scripture passages, a reflection, discussions questions, a prayer, and activities to do together. It’s like an Advent devotional and marriage challenge all in one! For details, see this post.

Do one thing for your marriage this Advent
Even if you don’t choose either of those ideas (no hard feelings!), we encourage you to pick one thing to do during Advent together!
