One of the questions the marriage team at Vertical Church receives on a regular basis is the following:
“What are some resources/books/websites my spouse and I can read together
to help strengthen our marriage relationship?”
As we all know, you can find an overabundance of marriage, intimacy, and relationship books on Amazon and an equal number of articles, blogs, and podcasts all over the web. In order to best help resource other churches and members of church who ask similar questions, we’ve compiled a list of some of our team’s favorite christian marriage resources.

Back to the first
Go to the restaurant that was your favorite when you were dating, or one similar to it.
Day one recap
Go through your wedding album and reread your wedding invitation and vows. Watch your wedding video together. Share about the experience.
Rise and Shine
Watch the sun rise or set from a beautiful location. This would be perfect during a hike, near your favorite beach or lake, or at your favorite restaurant with a view.
Pack a Picnic
Fill up a picnic basket with goodies like a loaf of crusty bread, sliced ham, cheese, and the season’s fruit. Go to the park, take in some sunshine, and share your feast with one another on a blanket.
Dinner with a twist
Do a progressive dinner – appetizer at one place, main course at another, and dessert at a final location.
Camp Out Under the Stars
Look no further than your own backyard and the night sky for a romantic date. Or drive out a bit further to make it a special trip by using an astronomy app to spot the constellations. If you are not an outdoorsy couple, opt for the planetarium for stargazing.
