“The most polished marriage program on the app store, just without any Christian framing.”
Lasting is, on pure craft, the most impressive marriage app in this roundup. Its opening assessment builds a personalized plan, then walks you through bite-size sessions on communication, intimacy, conflict, and forgiveness, supplemented by therapist-led workshops, five-minute guided meditations, and multi-session on-demand retreats. The 4.7-star rating across roughly 25,000 reviews reflects how genuinely useful couples find the experience.
The honest caveat for a Christian audience is faith. Lasting was acquired by Talkspace and is a secular, science-informed program, so there is no scripture, prayer, or explicitly Christian framing anywhere in it. It is also self-guided: despite the Talkspace connection, the app itself offers no live therapist messaging, so couples in real crisis will still need outside counseling.
If you want the most polished, best-structured self-guided program and you are comfortable adding your own faith layer, Lasting is worth the roughly $30-a-month subscription after its 7-day trial. If explicitly Christian content is non-negotiable, look at Marriage365 or Love Nudge first.
Couples who want a polished, structured, self-guided program with therapist-led workshops and are comfortable with a secular, science-based approach.
You specifically want scripture-rooted, explicitly Christian content, or you need live counseling with a licensed therapist.
No. Lasting is a secular, science-informed relationship program now owned by Talkspace, with no explicitly Christian or scripture-based content.
No. It is self-guided with therapist-led workshops and courses, but there is no live messaging or one-on-one therapy inside the app.
It is free to try for 7 days, then about $29.99/month, with cheaper 3- and 6-month plans.
Yes. Partners connect and work through the same personalized plan at their own pace.
For couples wanting a deep, well-designed self-guided program it is excellent, just not if you specifically need Christian content or live counseling.
