6 Couple Goals To Set Together as Faith-Filled Partners

Building a Christ-centered relationship is about more than just feelings. It’s about intentionality. Setting specific, measurable couple goals can help you grow closer to each other and to God. Here are some practical, faith-filled goals to inspire you.

1. Pray Together Every Day for 5 Minutes

Make prayer a daily habit by setting aside just five minutes to pray together. Whether it’s in the morning, before bed, or even over a quick phone call if you’re doing long distance, this time will help you align your hearts with God and each other.

Start by praying for each other’s needs, thanking God for blessings, and asking for guidance in your relationship. You can even keep a prayer journal to track answered prayers and see how God is working in your lives.

“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” (Colossians 4:2)

2. Read One Chapter of the Bible Together Each Week

Choose a book of the Bible to read through as a couple, like Proverbs for wisdom or Philippians for encouragement. Commit to reading one chapter together each week and discussing what stood out to you.

To make it measurable, set a specific time (like Sunday evenings) to sit down and reflect. You could even write down one takeaway or action step from each chapter to apply in your daily life.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

3. Serve Once a Month as a Couple

Find a way to serve others together at least once a month. This could be volunteering at a food pantry, helping with a church event, or even doing something simple like baking cookies for a neighbor.

Put it on your calendar so it becomes a priority. Serving together not only blesses others but also strengthens your teamwork and reminds you of God’s call to love others.

“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” (1 John 3:18)

4. Set Boundaries and Check In Weekly

Healthy boundaries are essential for a God-honoring relationship. Sit down together and talk about your physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries. Write them down so you’re both clear on what you’ve agreed to.

Then schedule a weekly check-in to talk about how you’re doing. This could be as simple as asking, “How can I support you better this week?” or “Are we staying true to our commitments?”

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23)

5. Plan a Monthly “God-Centered” Date Night

Once a month, plan a date night that focuses on your faith. This could be attending a worship night, watching a Christian movie, or even going on a prayer walk together.

Make it fun and intentional — something you both look forward to. It’s a great way to grow spiritually while enjoying quality time together.

“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” (Hebrews 10:24)

6. Memorize One Bible Verse Together Each Month

Pick a verse that resonates with you as a couple and commit to memorizing it together. Write it on sticky notes, set it as your phone wallpaper, or quiz each other during the week.

For example, you could start with 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 to remind yourselves of what love looks like in action. It’s a great passage to help you both grow in your relationship. 

“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (Psalm 119:11)

Couple Goals Help You Build a Relationship That Honors God

When you set specific, faith-filled goals, you’re not just growing closer to each other — you’re building a relationship that reflects God’s love. Start small, stay consistent, and watch how God works in your lives.
