Five minutes of work that sets up the whole day! ### 5/5 — Great app but one concern *2020-05-31, version 1.02* I downloaded this app , I feel the number and email should be optional , its kind iffy they want to put your spouse or wife phone number and email . Why do they need ? Unfortunately for me to use this app I can even see around what they offer, because the will ask you for a phone number or an email . I will give a 5 stars that fact the seems very , but please update and take on the phone number and email , sound more scam or take our information ### 5/5 — A pause in chaos *2019-12-25, version 1.02* This app gave me a fresh perspective. At the beginning was just to take my mind off our brokenness. Then i told my self I was going to do what I could not force anything. I would specially open the app when I was sad/upset. Then everything started changing for the better within me. Then it gave me clever ideas to start conversa not confrontations. Sure it’s not a magic passion but I appreciate the pause in our chaotic relationship. I was able to breath and gain new strength and specially new wisdom. We love each other but sometimes we do not know how to. Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-03-17, version 1.02* Amazing app helping our marriage ### 5/5 — Extraordinary! *2018-12-18, version 1.02* I love this app because it helps me and my husband think on things that we wouldn’t on a normal day. In a world filled with what seems like limited time; this app brings full center the thoughts of my heart that I can share with my husband on a different level. It shows a great amount of appreciation. ### 5/5 — Thank God *2018-06-01, version 1.02* I love this app!!! It really has blessed my marriage. I thank God for the activities I try my best to complete with thoughtfulness. It has really been like a love dare; I'm grateful to take the challenge. Thank God for you all. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2018-05-18, version 1.02* It was so great that the app sent my wife an email, right after the days lesson! It gives you something to do to bless your spouse, for example, “tell your spouse something that you appreciate about them”. So you write something right in the app and it sends it off. I love this because i dont put it off. I have good intentions and i love my wife, but i just get too busy or too focused on other things. What good is a daily reminder if you dont do it? These are just little things but that is what makes a great marriage! Thanks for a great app! ### 1/5 — Too much *2017-11-11, version 1.02* Will the sincerity is apparent, you Don’t need my phone number and email .... ### 5/5 — Love *2017-05-10, version 1.01* I really enjoy this app. I especially like the ideas on connecting with my husband via text or expressions of love before end of day! ### 5/5 — This app saved my marriage *2017-04-30, version 1.01* I never write reviews for apps but I definitely think this app deserves a review. It is an amazing app. The tasks everyday are so simple but help so much. They really make you think about things. It'll help build your marriage around God. I have been recommending this app to all of my married friends. Download this app you will not regret it. ## Frequently asked questions about The Marriage App ### What does The Marriage App do?
